Is your "arearegion" variable a string variable? On Thu, Jun 2, 2022 at 3:57 PM someone <maffyd...@aol.com> wrote: oops, yes, my mistake. I didn't want sum for this output, just frequencies. Sorry. The frequencies look right. Next step, I wanted to get means. I mentioned before that when I follow AnalyzeCompare MeansMeans My categorical variable, that I want to group population means by, "arearegion", doesn't show up in the left side of the means dialog box. I can get means if I followAnalyzeCompare MeansOne way anovaand click descriptives But two of the groups, East Asia/Southeast Asia and South Asia, have very large populations, and when I download the results, the means are | East Asia/Southeast Asia | 20 | 120000000 | | South Asia | 8 | 230000000 | Thanks Gene -----Original Message----- From: Ben Pfaff <b...@cs.stanford.edu> To: someone <maffyd...@aol.com> Cc: public....@gmail.com <public....@gmail.com>; pspp-users@gnu.org <pspp-users@gnu.org> Sent: Thu, Jun 2, 2022 6:36 pm Subject: Re: pspp-1.6.0 released, review Hmm, this feature seems to work OK here. This syntax: data list notable list /forename (A12) height. begin data. Ahmed 188 bertram 167 Catherine 134 David 109 end data.

Thanks for the fix. I ran a frequency (using the drop down menu, and the code appears in the output) but I'm puzzled by the output. I thought I asked for a sum FREQUENCIES /VARIABLES= AreaRegion /FORMAT=AVALUE TABLE /STATISTICS=SUM. But I don't see a sum in the output box Is there somewhere else I'm supposed to look?
