Hard to tell what your data look like here but if on one record you have a repeating data set for each car which is car name, defect type, and number of defects for that type, you are better off restructuring the file from wide to narrow (VARSTOCASE) so that each record is a car x defect and then you can get simple sums by car. Your unit of analysis is not a dealer but a car.

Is this possible on SPSS



Hi I have a DataBase that has a report of Problems presented by cars, where
each case is a report for every dealer.



This is a simplified version of how the data looks like.(In reality the car
variable goes up to car30 and 1500 dealers)




Dealer

car1

prob1

prob2

car2

prob3

prob4


1

Honda

Door

Engine

Hummer

Pump

.


2

Toyota

Susp

.

VW

Brakes

Tires


3

Mitsub

Paint

Engine

.

.

.


4

Subaru

Interior

.

Honda

Susp

.


5

Honda

Susp

Bumper

Toyota

Engine

Paint



I know I can have a Mult Response per problem (Set of prob1 to prob4), but
how can I get a Mult Response of problems per car, So I can display the
occurrence of problems for Honda, Toyota, and so on.
