Please could you help me out.

1) Question

I have a binary question.
It involves the sex op people being surveyed.
I have to enter (into SPSS) if there are "Male" or "Female".
After I have entered "Male" or "Female" can SPSS convert "0" for Male and "1" for "Female"?

Thanks.

Hi Harry19192929,

In my experience with SPSS, that is how we would always enter M and F variables. There might even be a special "data type" option that allows you to keep the variables "M" and "F" ("gender" or something similar). Good luck!
