In SPSS, the Frequencies procedure can produce summary measures for categorical variables in the form of frequency tables, bar charts, or pie charts.
When working with two or more categorical variables, the Multiple Variables options only affects the order of the output. If Compare variables is selected, then the frequency tables for all of the variables will appear first, and all of the graphs for the variables will appear after. If Organize output by variables is selected, then the frequency table and graph for the first variable will appear together; then the frequency table and graph for the second variable will appear together; etc.
The Percent column indicates the percentage of observations in that category out of all observations (both missing and nonmissing).
The Valid Percent column displays the percentage of observations in that category out of the total number of nonmissing responses.
SPSS Statistics FREQUENCIES does not display non-responded values. However, this can be done with Custom Tables available in the Tables module
