Issue/Introduction

What is the major difference between "Breakdown: Non-factorial tables analysis" and "Breakdown & one-way ANOVA analysis" ?

These two analyses both produce Breakdown tables.

If the data is well balanced, there is no difference between the two. However, when the combination of categories is not well balanced, the Breakdown; non-factorial table analysis will produce a much denser table by eliminating the empty cells.
