  • 1.  How to increase total number of pivot table cells using SET MXCELLS?

    Posted Mon December 04, 2023 02:24 PM

    Hello, 

    I'm new to using SPSS v29. When I try to run the linear mixed model on my data but a warning pops up: the software states "the pivot table across split files exceeds 2000000. This limit can be altered using the SET MXCELLS command"

    However I am not sure how to do this and can't seem to find this in the user manual. Could someone help guide me with this please?

    Thanks!

    I suspect that your specification is seriously wrong if you are generating that many cells. What would you do with a table containing millions of cells?

    This situation is often due to treating a continuous variable as a factor.

    Similar problem. I'm using IBM SPSS 30.

    I'm not technically wrong, for example - I have 2 column: FamilyID, PersonID.

    Using frequency, I want to know how many FamilyID - to get how many family member in each FamilyID.

    You would usually use the AGGREGATE (Data > Aggregate) command for this.
