Compute season from available dates

[spssdummy]

Hey,
I would like to add the variable season to my data set, consisting of winter
(december-february), spring (march-may), summer (june-august), and autumn
(september-november). I want to do this by using the dates that are
available in my dataset, which are formatted as day.month.year (e.g.
01.01.2010). I have tried compute variable and recode into different
variables, but nothing has worked so far.

Thank you for helping out x

Hello,

if your field is a already a true date and not a string then you can use the Range function:

***** Range is Inclusive so need to add an extra day to the end of the season to Include May 31

If Range(YourDateField,DATE.MDY(3,1,2018),DATE.MDY(6,1,2018)) Season = 'Spring'.

Thanks for replying.
Unfortunately, when trying range, I still get this notification: Incorrect
variable name: either the name is more than 64 characters, or it is not
defined by a previous command.​

I don't know why and how to solve it..

I've been having similar problems recently.  I solved by copying varname directly from Data Editor, but then discovered that Arial shows I when Calibri shows i.  Changing l to I solved the problem.

Use Kevin's syntax preceded by assigning Season as a string variable. Syntax is tested.

String season(a10) .

if Range(YourDateField,DATE.MDY(3,1,2018),DATE.MDY(6,1,2018)) Season = 'Spring' .

execute .

[Rick Oliver]

Yup. New string variables need to be declared first. Another solution would be to make the new variable numeric (1, 2, 3, 4) and assign value labels (1='Spring'). Numeric values tend to be easier to work with.

Here's the full syntax suggested by Rick. A little clutchy, but it works.

if Range(YourDateField,DATE.MDY(3,1,2011),DATE.MDY(6,1,2011)) Season = 1.

if Range(YourDateField,DATE.MDY(6,1,2011),DATE.MDY(9,1,2011)) Season = 2.

if Range(YourDateField,DATE.MDY(9,1,2011),DATE.MDY(12,1,2011)) Season = 3.

if Range(YourDateField,DATE.MDY(12,1,2011),DATE.MDY(3,1,2012)) Season = 4.

execute .

add value labels season 1 'Spring' 2 'Summer'  3 'Autumn'  4 'Winter' .

However...Kevin's original post was based on the date field being a true date and not a string. Other than this, I think we'd have to see your data. Maybe you could check first as the data type for the date field, and then send us a few lines of the date field.

It would be much more efficient to use the XDATE.MONTH function and recode
the result?

The formula that Kevin sent presumes that the dates are in the same format, dmy or mdy. At least the second part of your formula, date.mdy(30,11,2010) is dmy. There aren't 30 months. Do you need to change the second factor to date.dmy?

IMNSHO RANGE is a very inelegant solution here.

That's indeed true. I now have 12 months (like january has no.1 and december
has no.12). Now I want to convert this into the seasons, so winter (12,1,2),
spring (3,4,5), summer (6,7,8) and autumn (9,10,11). Any suggestions?

Try this (tested).

compute season=XDATE.MONTH(yourdatevariable) .

RECODE Season (3 thru 5=1) (6 thru 8=2) (9 thru 11=3) (ELSE=4).

execute .

add value labels season 1 'Spring' 2 'Summer' 3 'Autumn' 4 'Winter' .
