Yes I could use count, but the problem with open questions is that I usually have a codeplan with up to 100 codes. That makes it tedious to use your solution. And it would not produce 1 comprehensive table. Matthias Fäth Im Mediapark 12 50670 Köln t: 0221-2907973 m: 0171-9832175 e: m.fa...@gmx.d

Well I use MRSETS usually for open questions. Here the issue is, that each code can be on any variable in the set in arbitrary order. e.g. "Likes" get 3 possible variables var82 var83 var84. Case A: 1 2 3 Case B: 4 1 5 Case C: 5 6 1 I define the Mult Response Group: MRSETS /mcgroup name=$Likes VA

FWIW, I don't understand your example and I tried to run your example, but my license of SPSS does not include CTABLES. If you wanted to know how many 1's in variables 83 to 84, you could use these two lines: count NUMLIKES = var82 to var84 (1). FREQ/ NUMLIKES. And I suspect that you could do a

So, you're saying that the crosstabs capability is critical. I'm sure you have a point, I don't use crosstabs much. I'll have to give that some thought as to whether there is an easy workaround for that. -Alan On 1/8/2015 10:54 AM, ftr wrote: > In fact the Multiple response procedure is partic

I would just echo that after SPSS introduced the MULT RESPONSE syntax in the late 70's-early 80's (?), it was of immense help to my work on the DOJ/BJS National Crime Victimization Survey in the production of reports/analyses. It would be very helpful if this command syntax/feature could be added t

In fact the Multiple response procedure is particular useful because stats programs are based on the statistical independence of observations whereas in survey research you often have multiple response sets when the same respondent has more than one answer to a question, i.e. the cases are stat

I've used SPSS to analyze multiple response data for years (decades, actually) but never used MULT RESPONSE. I was curious what I was missing, so I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-toBCDscCwQ and I'm still a bit confused. You get the same data by running frequencies on the fou

I would support that. Multi Response is the one procedure that lets me stick to SPSS. I'm not a progammer but would help with testing and comparing. Matthias Fäth Im Mediapark 12 50670 Köln t: 0221-2907973 m: 0171-9832175 e: m.fa...@gmx.de 2015-01-08 14:36 GMT+01:00 news : > > > On 08/01/2015 06
