URGENT - need a response immediately!!!

A

Hi,

I'm running out of time and I can't find anywhere how to mark a response in SPSS that is not needed by some participants..

For example if a question with YES and NO, and the ones with YES need to reply to the next questions but those with NO have to skip...How do I mark this in SPSS in order not to be described into the tables in any way but not to be taken as missing as well?

Please if someone knows to tell me asap...every second is crucial :(

Thank you

In the data section menu (accessed at the top) there is a 'select cases' option that allows you to filter out particular variable, ie if the answer is 'no', then those cases won't be included in subsequent analysis.

hi thanks a lot but what appears is: 'All variables in the working file or in variable sets in use are inappropriate for this dialog box.'

is it right to write down in each scale number 9 where it is missing? or i use the same 'select scales'? but how do I go on from here if it doesn't let me do anything? :(
