  • 1.  SPSS Statistic Viewer Glitch

    Posted yesterday

         I'm having an issue with my program glitching and freezing when I try to make a histogram or a graph. The screen locks up and won't work any longer. I need help. I have the IBM SPSS Statistics program through school, and I've got my license number and stuff. I have gotten turned around trying to find help and I was sent here. Does anyone know what to do?

    Hi @Kristen Nunnally,
    There is a lot left unsaid in your post. 

    • What version of IBM SPSS Statistics are you using?  (See "Help-> About" on Windows and "IBM SPSS Statistics -> About IBM SPSS Statistics" on macOS)
    • What platform? (Windows or macOS)
    • Which menu or procedure are you using to create your graphs? (Are you using the Chart Builder and GGRAPH command syntax, or the Legacy Graphs and the GRAPH command syntax?)
    • Tell us about your data: How many data points do you expect to be in each graph?  For instance a dataset with 1 million records of x and y observations will produce a very dense scatterplot as all observations will be in it.  
    • What are the measurement levels of the variables in your graphs and the parts they play in them?
    • Can you easily replicate the "glitchy" behavior using one of the Sample data sets and create the same types of graphs?
    • It sounds like you are able to create your graphs. is it that things become "glitchy" when you are trying to edit them?
