When you create a table you need to define the structure of the table. For example, you need to specify which variables you want on the rows and columns of your table. If there is more than one variable on a row or column, you need to define their relationship to each other, whether they are to be nested or concatenated, and so on. This section describes how you define the structure of your tables.

This section contains a number of topics that walk you through creating various types of tables. All of these examples refer to the Museum sample XML data set. For more information, see Sample data.
