How to arrange raw data

The numbers in each column represent the following:

Row 1 represents a female that agreed with the survey question.

In a contingency table, each cell contains counts.

The rows represent the following:

Row 1 indicates that 17 males and 18 females agreed with the survey question.

With frequency data, each row represents a unique combination of groups or factors.

The numbers in the columns Gender and Survey Response represent the following:

Row 1 indicates that 17 males (gender = 2) agreed (survey response = 1) with the survey question.
