In SPSS, how can I delete certain cases from an analysis?

To delete certain cases from an analysis, use the SELECT IF command and select cases by providing selection conditions.

For example, to delete freshmen (grade=1) from an analysis, run this SELECT IF command:

SELECT IF (grade=2 OR grade=3 OR grade=4).

Alternatively, select cases to be deleted by using the NOT operator:

SELECT IF NOT (grade=1).

Note: SELECT IF permanently selects cases for analysis based on logical conditions found in the data. For temporary case selection, specify a TEMPORARY command before SELECT IF.

For more about statistical and mathematical software, email the UITS Stat/Math Center, visit the center's web page, or phone 812-855-4724 (IUB) or 317-278-4740 (IUPUI). The center is located in Bloomington at 410 N. Park Avenue, and is open for consultation by appointment Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
