Hello SPSS users,

I merged my individual and HIV datasets fine, I however, having a problem trying to drop any cases with hiv05 missing (these are cases with no HIV result). What is the procedure of doing this in SPSS.

Thank you

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:


I do not use SPSS but can suggest that you drop the cases with hiv05 missing, OR select the cases with hiv05 NOT missing, OR change hiv05 to 0 for those cases.
