Creating profiles of respondent data
In addition to creating tables to analyze survey data, you can also create tables that just display the responses to one or more questions for all respondents or for selected respondents. These tables are called profile tables. Profile tables are useful for getting a overview of the responses in a survey. For example, you might want a rough idea of the distances traveled by respondents who have visited the museum several times in the past year.
