I believe I gave you the basic required code in a previous related posting (please don't start new threads for followup on previous questions.
-To apply it to the new question will require your study of the commands and generalization of the concepts-). I'll sometimes toss you a fish, but don't expect a pretty bow or extensive play by play verbiage explaining any subtle nuances. That 2nd level of SPSS enlightenment is
your responsibility.
FWIW:
When the dialogs don't result in what you expect it behooves you to post the relevant syntax so we are not poking around in the murky realm of InterneTelepathy.
A simple data mockup and example of desired results goes a distance as well.
IMNSHO: You can achieve almost anything more simply with syntax than that clumsy recode/select dialog.

I have rows with cases and two variables, one multilevel variables coded
1-4. The other is transaction value. I want to bin the transaction values
by percentile 50-75-90-95-above 95 for each level of variable 1.
I tried to recode the using Select Cases to select only the level I wanted
to recode but it recoded all cases. Can I do this with syntax more easily?
Please reply to the list and not to my personal email.
