Commands

alice temu
Dear all,

I am trying to figure out which command to apply in Transform-Compute-If (certain conditions apply) = 1, 2, 3....

Example1: Transform-Compute-If (price is between 110.50 & 150.30). The question is, what is the command for is between?

Whereby, Price is a continuous variable.

Thanks,
Alice.

Re: Commands

You can use the RANGE function. Try,

COMPUTE newvar=RANGE(testvar,110.50,150.30).

Dear ViAnn,
thanks for your help.
I forgot to mention that, in this case there are two different variables involeved.
That is why I thought I need the If condition in the menu interface.
Example: If  ((Buy = 0 & Price is between 10.99 and 20.99) OR (Buy = 1 & Price is between 9.99 and 19.99))
I think what you proposed is applied when I have one condition, sorry I forgot to mentioned it before. Any idea how I can proceed now?
Thanks again,
Alice.

Don't use the menu interface to do this because you need a do if construct.
Do Something like this:

DO IF x eq 1.
RECODE y (lowest thru 5 =1) (else =2) into newvar.
ELSE IF x eq 2.
RECODE y (lowest thru 6 =1) (else =2) into newvar.
END IF.

Try this. Not tested

If ((Buy = 0 & RANGE(Price, 10.99, 20.99)) OR (Buy = 1 & RANGE(Price,
9.99,19.99))) newvar=1.
