Hi Art. You could always make a copy of the original dataset, and in the copy, set the group variable equal to another (constant) value for all cases. Then stack the original data and the copy, and add a value label (e.g., "All cases") for the new value. Here's an example using the "Cars" data.

new file. dataset close all.

get file = "C:\Program Files\SPSSInc\PASWStatistics17\Samples\Cars.sav". dataset name cars1 . freq origin. /* where car was manufactured .

dataset copy cars2 . dataset activate cars2 . compute origin = 4. exe.

ADD FILES /FILE=* /FILE='cars1'. exe.

dataset close cars1.

add value labels origin 4 'All countries' .

EXAMINE VARIABLES=weight BY origin /PLOT=BOXPLOT /STATISTICS=NONE /NOTOTAL.

HTH.
