Weights?
OP needs to provide evidence!

Several questions come to mind.

1. How do you know the counts are inaccurate?  What other method are you using to compute them?

2. Can you generate a small sample data set and command syntax that illustrates the problem?

3. Are there any user-defined missing values in your file?  

4. Do you have a filter turned on?

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
