Using
the Grid to Create a New Study (Continued)
Variables six, seven, and eight are part
of the same multiple response question. The question is
"Where did you hear about our product? (check all
that apply)" and the value labels are 1=Radio,
2=Television, and 3=Newspaper. Because a respondent could
give up to three possible answers, we need three
variables to hold the responses. When creating multiple response variables, there should be the same number of variables as there are value labels.
The way to create multiple response
variables is to type the first one (variable six). Type _1 at the end of the variable name. Then
click on the next row to begin variable seven and click
the Duplicate button at the top of the screen. Then click
on the next row to begin variable eight and click the
Duplicate button again. The variable names will
automatically be appended with _2 and _3 because each
variable must have a unique variable name.
