Subject: question about syntaxis
Dear members of the list.
I want to know how can I generate a new variable with an specific format and
level of measurement. In the procedure that I'm executing I'm calculating
the mean of a variable attending to their particular groups (departments)
and after that I'm making a table with the % of cases that are considered
outliers (more than 2 standard deviations from the mean). The problem is
that the variable constructed is a scale variable and I need it to be
Nominal in order to allow to use the custom tables procedure. Thanks.
