Programmatically Add Value Labels in SPSS with the SPSS Syntax Editor

This video demonstrates how to programmatically add value labels in SPSS using the Syntax Editor. Labels are often associated with numeric codes to produce output tables with descriptive labels for levels of the independent variables.

Excellent, I have to enter 200 countries which seems hectic and a time taking tedious task but now solved using the syntax as you showed, thank you 😊

Thanks a lot for this video. The excel tip was also quite handy

Lo que buscaba, por que tenia que ingresar mas de 500 valores y gracias a este comando lo pude hacer en poco tiempo. Gracias

my SPSS does not let me type code in Value Labels menu, it only lets me input 1 Label at a time

Hi, I was wondering if you could answer me a question. For my dissertation research I have used a Likert Scale to generate responses in an online questionnaire. I have 4 different statements which all ask questions regarding the same topic, Trustworthiness in this case, which all need combining. I have used the transform variable to create an extra variable which is the mean for all of the responses. I have done this for all 7 of my different topics, so I have 7 topics averages which all need to be expressed in a Stacked Bar Chart. However, as the values are no longer exact values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 from the Likert scale, but averages e.g. 1.5, 2.75, 5.5, it is not working when I go to make a stacked bar chart. How do I change this so that I can make numerous numbers fit within the same one value label?? E.g. I need 6.25, 6.5, 6.75, and 7 to all be 'Extremely important'. Many thanks, Natasha
