Hello,

I'm hoping for some assistance with creating two variables (MetNeed
and UnmetNeed) which are derived form 25 other variables, for
simplicity sake called A-Y.  The total score for MetNeed is a count
of all values of 1, while the total score for UnmetNeed is the count
of all values of 2, from the variables A-Y.  For example, if case 1
has 15 1's, 9 2's and a 0, MetNeed would have a value of 15 and
UNmetNeed a value of 9.

  Any assistance regarding how to calculate the totals scores from
the variables  is appreciated .


Bob
