How many cases with multiple responses?

[lts1]

Hi SPSSers,

I have a set of variables (E20a to E20g). They are dummy variables with a
value of either 0 ro 1.

I am trying to find out how many cases contain a value of 1 in two or more
of these variables. Can anyone think of a quick and easy way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

   Best,
      Lisa

I'd just do the following:

compute test = sum(E20a to E20g).
exe.
freq test.

You can then read how many cases contain a value of 1 in two or more of the variables from the frequency table.

Not tested, but should do the job:

COUNT dummies = E20a TO E20g (1).
