SPSS Statistics

Hello All, first time here.

I want to select cases (rows) based on the frequency of a numerical value in a variable column, which are unique IDs. However, each ID may have 1 to 50 sessions, with each session listed as an individual row. 

Variable Column: ID

Rows: Individual sessions. 

Essentially, I am looking for something like this, but I haven't gotten anything to work. 

Compute if frequency of 'ID' is greater than 2 as '1' or else '0' to new variable called 'enough_sessions'. '1' would mean 'yes' enough sessions. Then,

I would add 'enough_sessions = 1' and be able to perform other analyses on just those participant IDs with at least three sessions. 

Any tips? Thank you!!!

i'd use addvariables in the aggregate.

AGGREGATE OUTFILE=* mode=ADDVARIABLES /BREAK=id  /count=n.

This works perfectly, thank you! Also, how would I add to break with an additional variable? So, I have my 'ID' variable and I have an 'appoint_type' variable that has values from 1 to 5. If I want to break by 'ID' and 'appoint_type' when 'appoint_type' is equal to 1, how would I properly add that to the syntax? For example, 

AGGREGATE OUTFILE=* mode=ADDVARIABLES /BREAK=id and appoint_type=1 /count=n.

i think something simple like this would work.

if appoint_type=1 flag=1.

recode flag(missing=0).

aggregate outfile =* /break id flag /count=n.

or 

aggregate outfile =* /break id appoint_type /count=n.
