Duplicate values in output table

[Jordan Kennedy]

SPSS is grouping people with the same value into sub groups. So, for example, there are 39 people with a value of 2.00 but there is also another group of 28 people also with 2.00. What we were confused about was why they would not be lumped together into one group of 67 people.

(1) Is the grouping variable numeric or string? If it is string, there might be spaces etc. which make them different on ASCI level.

(2) Is the grouping variable numeric, values might be 2.0001 or something else, they look the same on two decimals, but are not.

A simple example...

end data.

*default display format F8.2).

frequencies variables=x.

*now change display format to display more decimals.

formats x (f8.3).

frequencies variables=x.
