Combine bar line chart in one?

[maarcc2005]

Hi.

I'm new to SPSS.

I would like to draw a chart that shows a cluster bar chart combined with the line trend in the same diagram. Is this possible? How do I do it?

The bar and the line charts are essentially the same charts as they come from the same data with all things remain the same. Just the display is differnet. One is cluster bar, one is line. I just need to present both in one chart. I have been checking and reading but saw nothing.

Please advise.

Thank you.
Marc

You should be able to do it with the GGRAPH command and GPL although the
clustering might be a bit problematical. There is an example of a dual axis
graph in the GPL section of Help. We need much more info to steer you in the
right direction.

Dear All,

 

I would like to seed advice on recoding numeric variable to string variable

I changed numeric to string in variable view and following command was given; but didnt work.

 

STRING township (A10).
RECODE hh1 ('101', '102', '103' ='shwebo')  (ELSE= COPY) INTO township.

 

The error message is as follows;

The RECODE command specifies a value to be assigned that is longer than some

variable(s) in the recode. The values will be truncated to the variable's

length.

 

I dont know what's wrong with it and pease advise.

Regards,

Khaing Soe

Khaing Soe,

 

The error message really is informative. It says that a value to be assigned (that would be a value in hh1) is longer than some variable in the recode (that would be township). You've defined township as being 10 characters long. I'll be hh1 has a value that is longer than 10 characters. If you do a frequencies on hh1, how long is the longest value?

Here's a guess at what you are trying to do.  It assumes that HH1 is a numeric variable originally.  If this is not what you want to do, please clarify.


* Sample data with HH1 as a NUMERIC variable.
data list free / hh1 (f5.0).
begin data
101 102 103 104 105 106
end data.

string township (a10).
do if any(hh1,101,102,103).
- compute township = 'shwebo'.
else.
- compute township = LTRIM(string(hh1,f5)).
end if.
list.
