Jon,
You are correct, I was running the EXAMINE procedure in order to see if assumptions for an ANOVA were met. The screenshot (attached here in higher quality, hopefully) just captured the error message. The issue I'm having is that I am attempting to understand the differences between 6 independent variables on 1 dependent variable. The EXAMINE procedure ran as expected except for the fact that 2 of my independent variables were left out of the analysis for some reason (you can see in the "Case Processing Summary" there are only 4 cases visible.
From what I've read online thus far, the two error messages I received regard invalid characters/unicode, and I'm thinking that's why two of the independent variables didn't get run in the analysis. For context, I exported my data from SPSS directly into SPSS, and all my cases (or conditions) showed up as HTML code because the only difference in the cases/conditions in my study were that participants saw a different poster - so, when the data exported it exported my cases as code.
All that's to say, I think this is more of a technical issue versus an issue with the analysis itself. Any thought or suggestions? If this is out of your expertise, do you know of anywhere to call to speak to someone for support?
Thanks a ton,
J

There is a lot of information missing here about what you did, and the images are too small to read accurately. However, the first message refers to the EXAMINE procedure (Analyze > Descriptive Statistics > Explore), not ANOVA.
The later messages would not come from either of those procedures, so more information is needed in order to address them.

Hi all,
I am attempting to run a one-way ANOVA and two (out of six) of my independent variables are not showing up in the outputs. I am also receiving the error messages in the screenshot below. All data was exported from Qualtrics into SPSS. I have no idea what anything in these error messages means, so I would greatly appreciate any help to understand!
Further, how might I resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
J
