To start making your own crosstab report, click on "New Report" in the upper right hand corner of the screen and then select Crosstab from the options in the dropdown menu. 
Simmons has a "smart search" feature. Start by typing in keywords to search for a variable.
Add variables to either columns or rows by dragging your selected variables to either the rows or columns section of the report generator. Your choice of whether you use columns or rows is up to you, you are creating your own table. Continue adding variables using these steps.
In order to create a cross tab, you have to create rows to compare with the data in your columns. Search for variables, then add to Rows by dragging variables to the rows section just like we did in step 2. It makes it easier if you only have demographic data in either rows or columns, not both. So in this example we've put brands of jeans in our columns so we will put demographic data in the rows. Use the search to narrow your variables, especially when searching for demographic data such as age.
Click "run report" in the bottom right corner of the report builder.
The default view of the report is the "Private Eye" feature. Use the "View" menu on the left to display the "Cross Tab View" (the grid icon).
The cross tabs you have created can be exported to either an .XLS or .CSV file for you to view and manipulate in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications.
You can also save your Cross Tab as a .SPC file. If you return to Simmons Catalyst at a later time, you can upload the .SPC file to continue where you left off.
To export, select the three horizontal dots to the right of the AutoSave indicator. This will open the Share menu. Then click on Export, and select your desired format.
