Open the Compute dialog.  If you have SPSS 13, click on the Significance category in the Function Group list, and you will see the functions you want.

If you have an older version, select Sig in the function list.

(Or you could look at the function list in the Command Syntax Reference).

Hello all,

I am relatively new to this listserv and to using SPSS and so far I have
not been able to find out if SPSS has a function where you can plug in a
test statistic (chi-square, F) and get the resulting p-value.  I know SAS
has this function but I have not yet seen it in SPSS.  Thank you in
advance for your help.

Christina
