+@node CTABLES Missing Values for Summary Variables
+@subsubsection Missing Values for Summary Variables
+
+For summary variables, values that are valid and in included
+categories are analyzed, and values that are missing or in excluded
+categories are not analyzed, with the following exceptions:

+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+The ``@t{VALIDN}'' summary functions (@code{VALIDN}, @code{EVALIDN},
+@code{UVALIDN}, @code{@i{area}PCT.VALIDN}, and

+@code{UTOTALN}, @code{@i{area}PCT.TOTALN}), and

+included categories and missing (but not valid) values in excluded
+categories.
