is this form of select file possible

[Talino Bruno]

My data file has the scores from four diffrent questionnaires for each
subject. One of the measures has a "lie" scale so if the score exceeds a
certain value (e.g. 4) it shouldn't be used in analysis. Lets call this
TEST A, the other TESTS are B,C,D.
I would like to be able to exclude [b]only[/b] TEST A questionnaires whose
score exceeds 4, form the sample [b]but[/b] keep TESTS B,C,D for those
subjects who had TEST A excluded. Is this possible?

Hello all

I have a skewed data set and I had to log convert the data to make parametric analysis. How can I draw bar charts for the mean values and confidence inervals of the "anti-log" values with SPSS.

Thanks

Bahir

Do you mean something like this untested syntax?


compute OLD_test_a= test_a.
if lie ge 4 test_A = -1.
missing values test_a (low thru -1).
