Hello,
you can get sums by the command that compare "means" in the "compare
means" menu
Analyze > compare means > means .
How you use this command is shown in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdC8vWiEKb4
Of course, if you calculated means you only have to multiply the mean of
a group times the sample size N in this group to get the sum. You know:
mean = sum/N. Hence, sum = mean * N.
But it can also be done by PSPP. If you click on "paste" in the "compare
means" menu, then another window will open which contains the command:
MEANS TABLES = population
BY AreaRegion .
Then you delete the last full stop and add
/ CELLS = COUNT MEAN STDDEV SUM .
as the last line. The whole command will then look like
MEANS TABLES = population
BY AreaRegion
/ CELLS = COUNT MEAN STDDEV SUM .
You select this whole command and execute it.
If you need training on how to analyze your data with PSPP, then I
recommend you to take a course on data analysis with PSPP or IBM SPSS
Statistics or you can search for PSPP tutorials e.g. on youtube.
Kind regards,
Dr. Oliver Walter

Hi all
Another question, again using the data set below. Well, a version
after I removed all non letter and number characters.

I want to get means and sums of population by arearegion. I can't
quite figure out how to do that.
I can get means if I do analyze / compare means / one way anova. But
that doesn't give me sums. And it seems like there should be a simpler
way to get means of a variable by group. Is there, and I'm just not
seeing it?
I want to do this in the drop down menu system, not by command line.
Thanks
Gene
