Hello,
 
I've been given a dataset from a survey with questions that have multiple
responses in this format:
 
q3a  q3b   q3c   q3d  --(variable name)
1        1       2       2
2        2       2       2  --- 1=yes, 2=no
1        2       2       1
etc
 
In this example, question 3 can have four responses, identified as q3a  -
q3d.  Somehow I need to combine the responses so that I can identify
how many reponders reported multiple yes responses and to identify
where the yes came from (ie in case 1, q3a and q3b were yes).
 
I know the best way to do this is with dummy variables for all the possible
combination of responses to question 3 (with 1 column of respomnses per
question), but they don't have time to do this.  Can anyone tell me a quick
way I can get SPSS to give me the info I need with the data set up as is?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
