Select If based on Case Range
Locked
 
|
Hi there,
I'm wondering if there is a way either through syntax or the GUI to "select if" based on a range of cases within a variable. For example, the variable I'm working with is "Score", which range from 1-100, and I would like to delete cases if a score is between 25 and 43 by pointing to those cases within that variable. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! |

To identify the cases, and assuming cases have a serial number (caseid): temp. select if (score ge 25 and le 43). list caseid. . . and at your own risk! select if (score lt 25 and gt 43).

John, did you test that? I don't think it will work without the variable name being repeated when testing the LE 43 condition. I.e., I think you need this:
SELECT IF (score GE 25 AND score LE 43). But you could do the same thing more neatly (I think) with the RANGE function: SELECT IF RANGE(score,25,43).

I think you need a NOT. Filter might be a better approach? COMPUTE @Filter=NOT(RANGE(score,25,43)). FILTER BY @Filter. <Whatever the #$%% you need to do>. FILTER OFF. ______________________________________________________

You're right: the varname has to be repeated. TEMPORARY. select if (age ge30 and le 50). >Error # 4007 in column 16. Text: ge30 >The expression is incomplete. Check for missing operands, invalid operators, >unmatched parentheses or excessive string length. >Execution of this command stops. temp. select if (age ge 30 and age le 50). . . works.

Fair point, Robert: The OP wanted to "delete cases if a score is between 25 and 43", but somewhere along the line, that got turned around. One could still use the RANGE function, though.
SELECT IF NOT RANGE(score,25,34).
