Is this EVEN possible?

[Juan Pablo Sandoval]

HI:

 

I´ve been reviewing the SPSS syntax and I can´t find if this is possible...

 

What I want to do is:

 

compute test = any(var1,var2,var3,var4, var5,1).

 

So what I want to do is check if any of the variables var1 to var5 contains the value 1.

 

Whay is this not possible.

 

Regards,

ANY is a conditional command, something like “IF any OF THESE VARIABLES EQUALS 1, THEN DO THE FOLLOWING”.

Hi Juan Pablo,

 

Put the test criterion as the first argument and it should do what you want:

 

COMPUTE test = ANY(1, var1, var2, var3, var4, var5)

 

Cheers,

Kylie.
