Hi there,
I've built a Chi square test and a column proportion test in Excel and am now trying to build a grouping of the results. I've started off with this example:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowled...ig_tests_colprop_ex.html#sig_tests_colprop_ex

The data:
ROWABCDE
full time57.8%15.5%66.1%62.4%59.1%
part time10.3%7.1%7.8%9.7%15.4%
temp not1.7%0.7%2.0%1.1%1.7%
unempl1.0%1.1%2.2%0.0%4.8%
retired12.5%53.0%11.9%6.5%2.6%
school0.7%0.4%1.6%2.2%9.0%
house14.9%19.4%5.6%14.0%5.3%
other1.2%2.8%2.7%4.3%2.1%
100.0%100.0%100.0%100.0%100.0%
NR_TOT134528344693663
From that I can calculate the significantly different columns, to get to the first result (as a table). I get this by a massive table to calculate for every pair (e.g. full time - A vs B (57.8% vs 15.5%)) whether the difference is significantly bigger. I concatenate the results of that table, so I get (which matches the second table of the table in the link):
ROWABCDE
full timeBABBB
part timeABC
temp not
unemplAB
retiredEACDEE
schoolABC
houseCECECE
other
For the (first) full time row: the value AB implies that C is significantly bigger than both A and B. Also, the B in column A implies that A is significantly bigger than B. From that, you can basically make a couple of groups that are internally not significanlty different: Group "B" (smallest) - group "ADE" (bigger) - group "CDE" (biggest). This is shown in the last table (small letters from the SPSS link), but how do I calculate the individual cell values? My sample file is here (desired outcome starts in Q105) https://www.dropbox.com/s/ey0ivf2owqpzqns/chi_bonf_col_tests.xlsx?dl=0:
ROWABCDE
full timeabcacac
part timeaaaabb
temp notaaaaa
unemplaaabb
retiredabaacc
schoolaaaaba

Thanks in advance for any pointers!
