Filtering within cases/variables

Darko_Giac
Hi all,

I'm currently working with a dataset and am looking for a way to filter between two variables, but only list the frequencies of certain cases that are mapped to others. For example, I have a "prog" variable and a "code" variable. There are hundreds of "prog" cases, but only four cases under the "code" variable.

So there is an "art1, art2 and art3" case under "prog", each of which should be mapped to "ADGR" within "code". There is also a "UNI" and "LOCH" code. I was wondering if there was a way (perhaps through syntax) to display where those "art" cases appear, (do they appear in ADGR and UNI, or just ADGR).

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The fact that no one has responded is indicative of the possibility that your question is vague.
Posting an example of some existing cases and the desired outcome is likely a good next step for you.

The only way that I have found to make sense of this is to read "cases" as "values".


Then:  You want to know if the values [art1, art2, art3] -- just these 3, among hundreds of

possible values for Prog -- are associated with the Code value of ADGR in particular.   And display it.


The simple way for display would seem to be to LIST CASES after sorting the file and selecting cases:


Select if  any(Prog, "art1", "art2","art3").

Sort cases  by CODE, PROG.


  and list, for the display.


FILTER is safer, if you want to continue using the same file and selection.
