All,

It seems I am getting rusted. I am not able to recall how to create a weight variable based on three variables. I know that SPSS python has Rake syntax but it does not create interlocked weights. I have census and sample data by gender by age and 4 region as below. I need to create one weight variable to reflect census proportion. Unfortunately SPSS Rake would not do this  and it seems I have to do it manually but honestly I forgot the method. Can anyone help?

                     Region 1      Region 2    Region 3   Region 4

Male Age 1

Male Age 2

Male Age 3

Male Age 4

Female Age1

Female Age2

........
