Hello:
I am new to SPSS syntax and I've searched for the answer to my
question in the manual but I can't seem to find the solution to my
problem. If it is there I apologize.
I am performing a secondary analysis on a database I did not create
and I wish to collapse eight variables into three. The eight variables
represent different levels of education, so in EDU 1 through to EDU8,
if a person attained that level of education there is a 1, otherwise
there is a missing variable. It looks something like this:
EDU1 EDU2 EDU3 EDU4 EDU5 EDU6 EDU7 EDU8
1 1
1
1
1
1 1
1
...and so on for about 400 cases. I wish to collapse EDU 1 & 3
together,
2, 4, 5 & 7 together, and 6 & 8 together. What should I do?
Thanks in advance,
Nora
