Hi.
I have a survey (with 6 respondents) consisting of ~50 questions/answers and each answer has 9 distinct variables (including the main answer), all of them scale values. My question is of course how do I put in these values into SPSS.
Short version:
I need a "3d-input" for a "2d-problem". The only thing I can think of (with my total unknowledge of SPSS) is to have 9*~50 variables and manually keep track of what belongs where, but I'm hoping of a way to create sub-variables for each "variable" in SPSS.
Long version:
The "easy" answer I can think of is "sum" (not quite that simple a formula in reality) these values into the final value in a spread sheet and input those values as answer. But (I'm hoping), there must be a better way to do this in SPSS (right?)?. Ignoring the fact that I'd lose all the statistical information for the variables unless I calculate all those externally as well, and then I'd also lose the statistical information in the greater scope (over all surveys)). Unless I'd also try calculating that externally, at which point, I would have no use of SPSS whatsoever.
Grateful if anyone can shed some light on this matter.
PS.
(Before someone start nagging about earlier posts, I've already tried a bunch of searches but instead of showing me any hits whatsoever the brilliantly programmed search engine just tells me my keywords are too common so, here I am). And needless to say(?) the tutorials weren't of much of help regarding the problem I'm about to present.
