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.

1= $1000 – 2000 ; 2= $2001 – $3000 ; 3 = $3001 – $4000
Do we define the variables as scale or ordinal??
b) Same as to age, when we have categories: 1= <25,
2 = 26 – 35 …
