How do you add values and measuea? I imported data. And it went blank after i added values and changed the measure

[@mod_5297]

This does not cover multiple choice questions which are a nightmare in googleforms

[@seddd]

Did u figure out how to deal with that?

[@Osternoob]

@@seddd you have to treat each answer option as a independent question and then have 0 (no) and 1 (yes) as answers

[@moina-anrafaallaoui1700]

Hello! It's that normal to have a "." in a PSPP when an individual didn't answer a question in the questionnaire (Google form) ?

[@JasonPopan]

Yes, that is the default missing value. It should be treated as such in the analysis. I haven't used pspp very much, so verify that it is being treated as missing data.

[@azmatunadawiyah1259]

4:32 sorry I do not understand that part. should we change it to 3 to 3 = neutral or 3 = neutral to 3

How to change value labels in variables view which earlier‌‌ they are shown as 'None' but I want to change from None to, let say, "1 = male & 2 = female". How? Because... I tried it but nothing has changed. It supposed to be 1 or 2 when I saw on the Data View side.

[@JasonPopan]

You can add or change value labels in variable view. Click on the cell where the variable row and the value labels column intersect.

[@vrowlandful]

Can someone help me with regards to combining a group of items/questions into one as a DV

[@JasonPopan]

Transform--compute. You probably want to use the sum or mean math function.

[@jayapriya1740]

I closed the excel file but it's not opening in Spss. Do I need to stop response from Google forms

[@JasonPopan]

If you first tried to import the Excel file before closing the Excel file, try closing and restarting SPSS.

[@nisanur2443]

when i try to select my excel file on the database wizard the file just opens and it does nothing further.. do you know what i could do?

[@JasonPopan]

If there are no data in the new data file, you most likely need to close the Excel file before importing it.

[@murtazahussainshaikh]

thanks

[@JasonPopan]

you're welcome. Hope it helped.

[@sharminnahar538]

please upload the next step video on how to calculate.

[@JasonPopan]

Calculate what exactly?

[@albionagashi1789]

Can someone explain why he did that 3=neutral ? Please

[@Sibrien]

I'm not sure if I understand WHY should we import data via xls file, not via csv file. What would it change?

[@JasonPopan]

csv can be used in almost every stats program so it's better in that regard. However, I find it's easier to spot problems importing the data when it's coming from a spreadsheet.

[@soukainamachrik8554]

but me i dont get the right answears when i concert it to sheets what should i do ,,?? plzz

[@JasonPopan]

Soukaina Machrik can you give an example of your issue? Do you mean the response options are not correct in Google sheets? I suggest that you check how your form is set up.

[@dianamjeshtri1368]

I’ve deleted accidently the section with questions from google form. Is there any way to know which response matches to which answer?

[@JasonPopan]

I am not aware of a solution for that issue.

[@molefielliottmolefi830]

4:04 how do I add an obdbc data source

[@michelefazio6174]

all the data pasted from Google sheets is showing up as question marks and even if I try to enter the data directly to the cell it still reverts to a question mark...any ideas?

[@JasonPopan]

Make sure there aren't illegal characters in the variable names and make sure you CLOSE the excel file before importing. You may need to save and close everything and start the import over.

[@realchannelofwisdom]

Why my data is not showing in number form in data view??

[@dr.fahmeedaakram4674]

How did you receive the data in numbers, I am just finding it in words as for instance; "agree, strongly agree". Please help to get the data in numbers.

[@JasonPopan]

Carefully use find and replace in excel and match entire cell contents or use the data import wizard in SPSS.

[@shyedge1582]

6:55 why i don't have any options like that? And I can't my excel file using that

[@AlanLopez-pr1wr]

it depends what version of SPSS you have. It seems like he has an older version and you might be using a newer version of SPSS

[@JasonPopan]

It sounds like your driver and system are running on different bit platforms. You should get on touch with IBM support for a solution to this.

[@blessyschannel921]

How to get the codes 1,2,3 etc for spss?? Like how to represent in Google forms so that it can be taken to spss?

[@JasonPopan]

I carefully used excel to clean it up with find replace. It's in the vid.

[@blessyschannel921]

@@JasonPopan okay thankyou

[@angelicasantos5328]

What to do next after importing it?

[@JasonPopan]

That depends entirely on the objective of the survey. Most likely, you'd start by examining descriptive stats using graphs, explore, and frequencies.

[@romeites6398]

What happens if dont delete question mark before convert to SPSS ?

[@JasonPopan]

Try it at your own risk, but if I recall correctly, the variable didn't import. ? Is an illegal character in an SPSS variable name.

[@mod_5297]

the problems is multiple response items... .....

hi sir. why i make at the 5 licert, i want to change 1 = strongly disagree then same with all and the data was question mark?

when i export it to spss

[@JasonPopan]

That happens when you don't close the excel file and try to import it. The file must be saved and closed before importing.
