Question

what are the 08 different variable types permitted b SPSS?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Numeric variables contain only numbers and are suitable for numeric calculations such as addition and multiplication.

String variables may contain letters, numbers and other characters. You can't do calculations on string variables -even if they contain only numbers.

There are no other variable types in SPSS than string and numeric. However, numeric variables have several different formats that are often confused with variable types. We'll see in a minute how variable view puts users on the wrong track here.

The only way to change a string variable to numeric or reversely is ALTER TYPE. However, there's several ways to make a numeric copy of a string variable or reversely. We'll get to those in a minute.
