It N is large the significance of Spearman's Rho can be estimated using the
T statistic. This is what SPSS does in its NPAR TEST CORR command. However
it is wildly inaccurate for small values of N and SPSS has taken a lot of
criticism for it.

Hi,
Hope you are safe and well. First of all, thanks for making this software a
reality. Many of my students in India are benefiting from this.
This is a small query I have with regard to Spearman's Rank Correlation
using ordinal variables. There is an option to perform the test under the
crosstab option which is great. However, the p value (significance) is not
shown in the output.
I've attached a screenshot of the output. Please have a look at the bottom
most table which has the correlation values but the significance has not
been mentioned.
It would be great if there was a workaround through which I could estimate
the p value as well.
Thank you in advance
