Hello,
suppose s1, s2, s3, s4, s5 are your 5 statements variable.
get file = myfile.
compute n_miss = NMISS(s1, s2, s3, s4, s5).
select if (n_miss < 5) .
regards

Subject: SPSS analyzing survey data: composite variable
I am analyzing survey data in SPSS. Specifically, I am creating a composite variable for a question that is structured as "Choose your level of agreement with the following statements.." and then I list 4-5 statements in the question. My question is: does SPSS automatically exclude entire responses to a question if they didn't select a response for each of the statements? Or does it include those who only responded to some of the statements in the composite variable? I only want to include responses who answered every statement in the question in my composite variable, which is why I ask. I hope this makes sense.
