Hi Bruce

Thank you for your reply.
Because I only want to do EFA after the multiple imputation, and I do not do hypothesis testing, a single imputed data set is okay. Graham pointed out in his paper that "this data set is very useful for analyses that do not require hypothesis testing, such as coefficient alpha analysis and exploratory factor analysis".

I will look at the links in your reply regarding my second point. It is a better solution. Thank you for providing your macro.
