Split File - SPSS

Learn how to split a data set in SPSS which allows for splitting the results output according to the levels associated with a particular variable. File outputs can split in two ways: (1) comparing results (split results into 1 table), and (2) segregate output according to groups (split results into several tables).

why does SPSS get rid of all my data when I split my file??? The data appears as blank cells with little dashes in them instead of the numbers.

Hi how2stats ,
I have just performed the Multiple Imputation technique for filling out my missing values. So, I have my original data set + 5 sets of imputed data. However, I want to proceed with the pooled variables. I do not want the original data set - nor the 5 sets of imputed values. I am only interested in the pooled variables. Are you familiar with any procedures that can be performed in SPSS in order to do so? I though of using the Split File function which is why I ended up here, but I am not sure if that is the right thing to do. And should I use 'Compare groups' option or the 'Organize output by group' option?

Thank you for some great videos by the way. :-)
Thank you in advance.

Go back to the Split File menu option and select 'Analyze all cases, do not create groups'

This was helpful and what I needed; HOWEVER. I suggest you make sure you are adequately hydrated before making your videos. It is very irritating when one has lo listen to a lot of mouth smacking in a vid. Just a suggestion!
