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 Jeff Mather
