the Freq table will report a value twice if the variable is set to no decimal points but there is a value=0 and a value=0.02, for example.

Subject: Re: Error with descriptive statistics?

I encountered something similar a long time ago with an older version. I obtained frequencies associated with the value zero twice in the frequency distribution Table. I can't recall how it was resolved. But I haven't experienced any problems with descriptives for several years now. My guess is that it is user-error. Why don't you open a new SPSS data file, enter some data, and see if the error continues to occur.

Hi there,

 

I am running frequencies in descriptive statistics in SPSS 21 and the results are wrong. That is, it reports inaccurate counts of each response type to a survey question in the output table. Has anyone else experienced this? Your guidance on what I may be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Michelle
