Torsional and lateral storey stiffness?

I’m wondering if there exists a guide for interpretation of Output Tables results (values) in Etabs? Momentarily I’m looking for torsional and lateral storey stiffness. Is it possible to get them with Ouput Tables? Any other way?

Thank you for your answer in advance.

PS: As I’m working with Eurocode I need those values to declare whether the structure is torsionally flexible or not and consequently “magnitude” of reduction factor (ductility of whole system).

MS Access file is basicaly Output Table and I can't find torsional and lateral storey stiffness in it! Can I use any other results (values) from Output Tables to calculate them.
 
I use: desplay - displacement tab to see the story and diaphragm displacement and drift.
Once you know your story displacement you may be able to estimate your story stiffness.
