Exporting results from "table" command

[May Blake]

Hello,

I am working on creating a simple report that uses three different variables in a multi-level descriptive table.
I have used the "table" command below. I was trying to use the export feature after the table but I am unable to do so. I would also like to just show the "total" and "foreign" cars only (so eliminate domestic cars). Thank you in advance.

I was trying to use the export feature after the table

I don't know what export feature you are referring to. -table- does not have an -export()- option (unlike its descendants -dtable- and -etable-, which do). However, it is very easy to export the results of the -table- command by running the -collect export filename- command afterwards.
