As a very begginer in SPSS I would ask you for help with some transformation from table A into table B. I have to recode values of "brand" variable into columns and make 0-1 variables.
#table A#
nr brand
1 GREEN CARE PROFESSIONAL
1 GREEN CARE PROFESSIONAL
1 GREEN CARE PROFESSIONAL
2 HENKEL
3 HENKEL
3 HENKEL
3 HENKEL
3 VIZIR
4 BIEDRONKA
4 BOBINI
4 BOBINI
4 BOBINI
4 BOBINI
4 BOBINI
4 HENKEL
5 VIZIR
6 HENKEL
#table B#
nr GREEN HENKEL VIZIR BIEDR BOBINI
1 1 0 0 0 0
1 1 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0
2 0 1 0 0 0
3 0 1 0 0 0
3 0 1 0 0 0
3 0 1 0 0 0
3 0 0 1 0 0
4 0 0 0 1 0
4 0 0 0 0 1
4 0 0 0 0 1
4 0 0 0 0 1
4 0 0 0 0 1
4 0 0 0 0 1
4 0 1 0 0 0
5 0 0 1 0 0
6 0 1 0 0 0
I can do it in this particular case in this simple way:
compute HENKEL=0.
...
do if BRAND='GREEN_CARE' .
compute GREEN_CARE=1.
else if ....
but the loop has to be usable with another variable and different number of values ect. I was trying to make it all day and gave up.
Do you have any idea to make it in a easy way? Thanks!
