Is there a way to label values over a certain value using quantitative (ratio?) data on SPSS?

    Hello IBM SPSS Community!
    I'm a new research methods student looking for some help on how to properly label data using SPSS for a particular homework problem. I'm stuck on how or where to properly value the scores in the following problem:

    Suppose the following indexed scores represent performance on a new survey meant to understand an individual's level of depression. Suppose a score of above 20 represents a depressed individual based on the survey design.

    Scores: 13.5, 15.7, 14.3, 16.7, 21.2, 20.7, 22.3, 17.4, 16.8, and 12.4

    What is the relative frequency of those individuals that represent depressed individuals?

    I've made the scores variable and have kept it at a scale measurement, but I'm not able to find any information on how to properly value this to run the proper descriptive analysis. If anyone has some pointers, that would be great please.
    Thank you!

    Hi. Look into the FREQUENCIES command.

    Hello.

    You can RECODE your values first.

    RECODE var
    (lo thru 20 = 1)
    (lo thru hi = 2)
    into var2.
