it is not at all clear why you want to do this, (do you have too many
distinct values for a cross-tab? why 10 groups?, etc.) but here is, I
think, a specific answer to your question:
sort X
egen xcat=cut(X), group(10)
sort Y
egen ycat=cut(Y), group(10)
ta xcat ycat
you might want to re-label the new variables
