SPSS Syntax - Quick Introduction for Absolute Beginners

DESCRIPTION:
SPSS syntax is a simple SPSS code for opening, editing and analyzing your data and more.
You can easily create such syntax by clicking "Paste" instead of "Ok" in most SPSS dialogs.

This makes it very easy to
-correct, adjust or add data editing & analysis steps
-defend your results (“this can’t be right… what did you do?”)
-comply with universities, journals & companies who may demand syntax
-get things done faster than from the menu
-use syntax-only timer savers
-get help from other SPSS users.
In this video, I'll cover a very simple introduction to SPSS syntax for beginners.
Hope it helps!
