Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
What survey? What do you want to be the cases? The possibilities are households (the HR file), individuals in households (the PR file), women (the IR file), men (the MR file), or children (the KR file). The variable names for regions, the wealth quintiles, and the weights are different in different files. Apparently you are using Stata. You CAN use a full svyset command with the tab command, but the only part that actually matters for a crosstab is the weight variable, and you can include that with just the weight option.
If, say, you wanted to get the percentage distribution of households across wealth quintiles, for all regions, you could open the HR file and enter this command: "tab hv024 hv270 [iweight=hv005/1000000], row" .
