I've been wondering if you actually know some trick in SPSS to deal the following issue: By Ruben Geert van den Berg on March 23rd, 2015.I wanna to know how can i do this statement on spss syntax windows (if the answer in Q5 'No', transfer to Q7) I wrote a tiny example of this and put it here. Regarding the date comparison, use the DATE.DMY function. There's a faster way than IF for doing so and it's discussed here. By Ruben Geert van den Berg on November 20th, 2014.I have spss db, it has a variable date of death with the format of dd.mm.yyyy. However, i have one thing that troubles me. By godfrey matumu on November 20th, 2014.Report this adTHIS TUTORIAL HAS 55 COMMENTS: Like so, our last example shows a different route to flag fulltime working males and females using different criteria.Įxample 4 - Compute Variable Differently Based on Gender II You can get around this limitation by combining RECODE with DO IF, however. If(gender = 0 & whours >= 36) fulltime = 1. This is the reason whyīut you can use an IF condition involving multiple variables:
Second, RECODE can only set values based on a single variable. You can't RECODE a function -mean, sum or whatever- into anything nor recode anything into a function. Is not possible -q1 is a variable, not a constant- but However, RECODE has more limitations too.įirst off, RECODE only replaces (ranges of) constants -such as 0, 99 or system missing values- by other constants. In many cases, RECODE is an easier alternative for IF. *IF: respondents meeting both conditions get result_2. *DO IF: respondents meeting both conditions get result_1. The syntax below sketches this idea.ĭO IF - ELSE IF Versus Multiple IF Commands If you use multiple IF commands instead, the last condition met by each case takes effect. If cases meet more than 1 condition, the first condition prevails when using DO IF - ELSE IF.IF is a conditional COMPUTE command whereas DO IF can affect other transformations -such as RECODE or COUNT- as well.IF is a single line command while DO IF requires at least 3 lines: DO IF, some transformation(s) and END IF.The main differences between DO IF and IF are that Some SPSS users may be familiar with DO IF. The minimum for females working fulltime is 36. The maximum for females not working fulltime is below 36. This table -shown below- is a nice way to check the results. Our syntax ends with a MEANS table showing minima, maxima, means and standard deviations per gender per group. means whours by gender by fulltime /cells min max mean stddev.
add value labels fulltime 0 'Not working fulltime' 1 'Working fulltime'. if(gender = 1 & whours >= 40) fulltime = 1. if(gender = 0 & whours >= 36) fulltime = 1. *Set fulltime to 1 if whours >= 36 for females or whours >= 40 for males. We then set it to one if the year -extracted from the date of birth- is in the RANGE 1980 through 1989. The syntax below first computes our flag variable -born80s- as a column of zeroes. Let's flag all respondents born during the 80’s. Example 1 - Flag Cases Based on Date Function
