AW: SPSS code books and variables

[John F Hall]

Just produced this with N instead of % and var labels are there in full.  If they look strange, it's because they date from 1982 when they were limited to 40 characters.  If you think that's bad, try using value labels limited to 16 characters in 2 blocks of 8 to avoid wraparound.

 

Analyze

    Tables

        Custom tables

 

1    Highlight variables (if you can find them: now you know one of the reasons I hate the drop-down menus!) and drag to row bar (lights up with crimson squares) 

2    Click on Summary Statistics at bottom left, select statistic(s) wanted and click Apply to selection.

3    Look for Category Position at bottom right: default is displayed, so change it to Row labels in columns

 

I set to no decimal places (only 143 cases) and changed the labels as SPSS output tends to be a bit cluttered.  Repeated it with % and this time the labels displayed properly.  Did it with both N and %, but the table is printed with 8 columns (N and % side by side) and is confusing.

 

First time I've done this, so I've learned something as well.  Also it'll come in handy for some additional tutorials on my webpage http://independent.academia.edu/JohnFHall
