Section 3.2 suggests a way to code missing values.ДЈ. Will be a foreseeable option to minimize the amount of missing information. If true missing values were coded, identifying data entry omissions will be trivial and going back to charts (or questionnaires) - when possible. Furthermore, specifically coding missing values in a data bank makes it clear that the data item is truly missing,ДЄs opposed to an omission by the data entry person, which is unfortunate but happens in practice It is sometimes important however - either in data analysis or when writing reports - to be able to distinguish between different types of missing data,ДЄnd that will require some coding. Indeed, cells left empty in Excel spreadsheets, for example, will be interpreted as missing data by most statistical programs. The coding of missing data often does not receive special attention, which is often benign They can arise from many sources, such as refusal to answer, omission, missing by design, etc. In practice, missing data almost always occur in clinical projects We will still suggest a few hints in Section 5 to reduce problems further down the line, at the statisticianвЂ™s end. If for some reason you still prefer to enter alphanumeric values (we can imagine that sometimes it saves some time and/or is less error-prone at data entry), So that creating numeric codes for all possibilities becomes too cumbersome. Reason for non-adherence to medication, etc - and even in these cases, only when the number of possible answers is large, in comment variables - reason for withdrawal from experiment, (In fact, the alphanumeric variables can be used, but only after some preprocessing that can be time consuming and hence expensive.)Д¬haracter entries should be used for descriptive purposes only, e.g. gender=F or M) directly in statistical models. Leading to misinterpretation of two equivalent answers as being different, and above all greatly facilitates the use of the variables in statistical models,ДЄs most statistical packages cannot use character variables (that is, variables taking alphanumeric values, e.g. This avoids the occurrence of typographical errors in entering literal answers, should be reduced to numeric codes whenever possible.

When I run the text syntax or try to consolidate three excel example sheets through the custom dialog of read and merge, I get this error: I downloaded XLWT and XLRD and I installed the 'read and merge excel files' custom dialog which seems fine on the SPSS.

I downloaded Python 3.6 (I have a 64 bit OS and installed Python to 32 bit - is this a problem?) and installed it. I need to read multiple excel sheets into SPSS (version 24) and used your tutorial for that. I think you are doing a GREAT job! Thank you!

From this point on, I had to deduce that I should paste everything between the lines 'begin program' and 'end program' on the syntax editor, but nothing happens either after I run it. I only get a lot of text in the output file. After going to all the trouble of installing the modules and dialog box, I set the path where my excel book is and nothing happens. There is something I can't follow in this tutorial. I am trying to import an excel file with 17 worksheets to spss.

you didn't run the first line ('BEGIN PROGRAM.') with the rest of the syntax. you don't have the SPSS Python Essentials properly installed or This usually means that Python lines aren't recognized as such because The errors are SPSS errors but they refer to lines of Python so if anything's wrong, you should receive Python warnings instead.
