IF (SCIDr = SYSMIS) SCIDr = SSCHLCDEr . EXECUTE . COMPUTE B = A . IF (B = $SYSMIS) B = C . EXECUTE . Basically, the variable A is missing values. I am trying to replace those missing values with the values for C. Hello,

I am trying to do this:

COMPUTE SCIDr = SCIDr_temp .
IF (SCIDr = SYSMIS) SCIDr = SSCHLCDEr .
EXECUTE .

COMPUTE B = A .
IF (B = $SYSMIS) B = C .
EXECUTE .

Basically, the variable A is missing values. I am trying to replace those missing values with the values for C.

The variables are in this case 18 (eg 1-Internet, 2-Movies, 3-Publicidade...12-Magazines...). If someone responds options 1 and 2 do the input of numeric values without any space, as someone told me to do, which is 12. Result ... the SPSS option will take the 12 instead of taking the 1 and 2 as planned. Could someone help me? Thanks Hi,

Assign the values to each of your responses so that the new value for a response is double the value before. 1 = soup 2 = rice 4 = salad 8 = ... 16 = ... Then create a new variable summing the values. This gives a unique code to each combination such that 1 = soup 2 = rice 3 = soup and rice 4 = salad 5 = salad and soup 6 = salad and rice It works for any number of alternatives.
