Hello experts,
I'm requesting a piece of advice on graph syntax from this listserv. I
posted the request a few days ago but did not hear back, so I'm asking
this question again--any help is very much appreciated. (It's probably a
simple question but I'm not too strong with graphs.)
Thank you,
Katerine

Dear experts,
I have data that include Likert ratings for survey questions (Q1 to
Q52), and descriptors of respondents (e.g., demographics: D1 to D6)
organized as levels 1 to 5. Could someone please suggest a syntax for
SPSS 14 that would produce the following 2 bar graphs:
(1) clusters of bars showing question means by descriptor levels,
several clusters on one graph:
e.g. I want to see a cluster of 5 bars representing Q1 mean for each of
the 5 levels of Age, then on the same graph, a cluster of 5 bars
representing Q2 mean for each of the 5 levels of Age, etc.
(2) bars showing a comparison between each question mean in this
dataset and a known population mean on this question. This would look
like bars in clusters of 2; the first cluster is Q1 mean bar and Q1
population mean bar, the 2nd cluster is Q2 mean bar and Q2 population
mean bar, etc.
I can make this in Excel but SPSS syntax would be so much faster--but
somehow I cannot get this right. Thanks for any suggestions.
