Hey I am new to SPSS and have needs to create an index with a ranking question...thing is I have no idea how to do that...
The question goes like this 'Rank the following factors according to how important it is to you, from 1-5, 1 being the most important and 5 being the most important factor'... The five factors are as followed: Price, Quality, durability, design and comfort of using. My groupmates and I wanted to find out how many people choose price as the most important factor, Quality as the most important factor, durability and so on... |

You can get MULT RESPONSE frequencies and crosstabs. see
<help>.
Please describe in more detail what you mean by an index. Make up a few cases with an id variable and 5 variables for the 5 "factors" and a variable called want that show what you want the index to be.

Have you checked the frequencies for your original variables?
Open a new syntax file and write:
freq v1 to
v5 .
or whatever your variables are called.
This looks like your homework: is it?

Thanks for offering the help...I am quite lost myself as I really did not understand what my tutor was trying to ask of us...

Thanks for the help...this is actually a group project. I ended up recoding the variables to find out which are the most important factors...I'm not sure if that's what my tutor wanted though...
