Spanish term or phrase: cruce de variables
I know that this question has been asked once before on Proz, but the findings were inconclusive, as there was only one answer posted and one agree.
Is "crosstab" the correct term here?
I've tried "crossing of variables" in Google, but it only threw up references from websites in non-English speaking countries, so I'm not happy with that.

Here's the full sentence:

"Para el análisis de los datos y el cruce de las variables se ha utilizado el programa de análisis estadístico SPSS."

Hi Aiife

I can't be 100% sure, but see here:

In this chapter, we'll look at how SPSS for Windows can be used to create contingency tables, sometimes called cross tabulations (or crosstabs), bivariate, or two-variable tables. A contingency table helps us look at whether the value of one variable is associated with, or “contigent” upon, that of another. It is most useful when each variable contains only a few categories. Usually, though not always, such variables will be nominal or ordinal. Some techniques for examining relationships among interval or ratio variables are presented in later chapters.
