  • 1.  Changing multiple variable Types and Measures

    Posted Mon February 26, 2024 11:55 AM

    Hi, I want to change multiple variables from Type>String to Type>Numeric and then from Measure>Nominal  to Measure>Ordinal. Can anyone help with that? Thank you.

    alter type all

    if it's a non-numeric it will be 'disappeared'.

    ALTER TYPE is the easiest way to change multiple variable types, but you need VARIABLE LEVEL to modify the measurement levels.  Note, though, that in SPSS, including most extensions, few procedures actually distinguish between nominal and ordinal variables.
