I believe you need to post the text of the warning!

Hello,

I am analyzing data using a split file, followed by a paired t test. I get the warning below.

SPSS gives the warning but calculates the statistic anyway. I cross checked with turning off the split file (descriptives, explore) – the means, SDs, and dfs were the same as the paired t tests output. I also googled the warning and came across some output where the warnings were present but the paired t test was not calculated.

Any clarity on this would be greatly appreciated.

Can I still report these statistic despite the warning given that spss calculated it anyway and the means/SDs/DFs are the same when I turn off split file (descriptives, explore)?

Please help.

Thanks,

-ps. I need get a significance value hence the paired t test vs just doing descriptives, explore
