Dataset for creating a disjunctive table

An Excel sheet with both the data and the results can be downloaded by clicking here. In this tutorial we will show how to create a disjunctive table fron category variables.

The dataset contains 20 clients with their age class, city of residence and gender. We will transform the variables Age, City and Gender into a disjunctive table. This means that we will split each category variable into corresponding binary variables (coded in 0 and 1).

Creating the disjunctive table

After opening XLSTAT, select the XLSTAT / Preparing data / Complete Disjunctive tables command, or click on the corresponding button of the Preparing data toolbar (see below).
