In order to create a new crosstab select Compare Groups > Crosstabs in the main menu of MAXQDA Stats. A window appears that allows you to determine rows and columns for the crosstab.

Variables can be selected in several ways:
- Double-click on a variable.
- Drag and drop the variable into the right window pane.
- Select one or multiple variables with the mouse by holding the Ctrl/Cmd key then drag the selection into the right window pane with the mouse, or click the blue arrow in the middle of the window.
To integrate code frequencies per document in the crosstab, switch to the “Codes” tab and select the desired codes. (This option is available only if MAXQDA Stats was launched with the data of a MAXQDA project).
