Question : SPSS - Modify Output of Crosstabs

Good afternoon!  I'm currently working with spss to do a crosstabs analysis, and am trying to figure out how to change the output of the results.  What I've got presently is a crosstabs analysis of multiple variables being compared against a single variable, using both Phi and Contingency Coefficient to determine the Statistical Significance.  This gets us the information that we want, but the output isn't in the form that I'm after.  What I'd like it to look like is to be a single table organized to look something like this:

'Variable Name'   'Variable Text'   'Phi Value'  'Contingency Coefficient'   'Approximate Significance'

The ultimate result would then be a single table listing all the Y-axis variables and their associated values, and would (hopefully) export to an excel worksheet nicely.  My problem is I'm still really new to the program and am not sure how to generate this kind of output.  Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Answer : SPSS - Modify Output of Crosstabs

This cannot be done in SPSS using core (built-in) functions - output functions in SPSS are extremely limited.  

Workarounds:
1) You could script it in Python (which can run underneath SPSS).
2) You could export it to text and then program a wrapper to reformat it however you want.
3) You could export it to text and then write an Excel macro to open the data and automatically format it.
3) You could use the open-source statistical program called R.  It can format data any way you can imagine.

All of these methods will involve a degree of programming, however.
