Hi, thanks for your reply, from the information i think because my question is of the type "check all that apply" i would have to use multiple dichotomies. from my understanding then what i would do is if someone had ticked box 4 and 6 i would create a 'dummy' variable in the "value" box.
the problem which i foresee with this is that in my questionnaire there all 11 categories, and people can tick up to as many as they feel appropriate (and any combination), and from glancing through the questionnaires i feel that it would be unfeasible to enter all the combinations! is there anything way to avoid this, or have i misunderstood how to do this? Thanks for your help, i really do appreciate it Rachel Art Kendall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > part 2 > It is difficult to say much more without a fuller description of what > you are trying to do. > > comp.soft-sys.stat.spss > is more directly focused on SPSS than the two newsgroups that you posted > this request on. > > Art > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Social Research Consultants > University Park, MD USA > (301) 864-5570 . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
