Tabulation statements tell Quantum which tables are required and how to create them. They consist of a start letter or keyword to identify the type, and may be followed by other keywords, numbers or text. They are used to define rows and columns (elements), the variables that are to be cross-tabulated (axes) and finally, the tables themselves.

There are also statements for weighting your data and for creating tables by manipulating the contents of tables created previously in the current run or even in other runs.
