Have a look to the following link (is from David Marso):

I've tried it but didn't work. However, I think is what you are asking for.

Thanks.

-----Original Message----- From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:SPSSX-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of Nancy Rusinak Sent: 20 July 2011 03:27 To: SPSSX-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Count of unique values across variables

Hello!

I'm trying to find a way to get a count of unique values across 6 variables:

zip 2006 zip2007 zip2008 zip2009 zip2010 zip2011 61477 61477 41365 41365 41365 41365 41365 41365 41365

In the data above, I'd like to add a variable called "count." for the first case, the value of count would be "1" as there is only 1 unique zip in all 6 columns. For the second case, "count" would equal "2" and for the third case, count would equal "1"

I'm new to syntax and would appreciate any handholding you could offer with accomplishing this.

My heartfelt thanks if you can help!

Nancy
