You have two sets of group dimensions here--per participant (20) and per value of the 4 vars. Crossing them would give you 80 lines on your chart. I guess that truly would be a mess of spaghetti. Is that what you want?

I was thinking about it. But I still don't know how to create a number of separate lines for each participant on the same graph... bozena -----Original Message----- From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:SPSSX-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of Melissa Ives Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 12:53 PM To: SPSSX-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Re: individual graphs of change

I think this needs a 'wide' (horizontal) dataset (one row per client with 4 vars instead of a 'long' (vertical) 4 rows per client dataset.

Use CASETOVARS to convert then you should be able to do a chart of the 4 vars by time.

Let's say I have 20 participants, each with four rows of data for var1 and a variable Time with values 1-4 marking what time was each value collected at. I would like a graph with values of the var1 on y axis and values of Time on x axis and 20 lines on the graph showing the values of var1 at each time point for each of the participants. Any ideas how to do it in SPSS? Thanks! Bozena

I googled spaghetti graph but the hits seemed to be about ecological modeling or path diagrams. Could you be a bit more specific or provide a URL to a similar example?

Hello, I have a file with multiple rows (4) for each subject, each row with a var value for a particular data point. I want to create a set of individual 'spaghetti' graphs mapping these 4 values for each subject. Any suggestions how I can do it in SPSS or where should I look for instructions? Thanks so much.
