This document provides instructions for counting the occurrences of values within variables in an IBM SPSS dataset. It demonstrates counting the number of "Strongly Positive" responses across six satisfaction survey questions to calculate a total for each respondent. The steps shown include using the "Transform > Count Values within cases" procedure to create a new variable called "Count_Strongly_Positive" that contains the count. It also notes that cases can be conditionally selected for counting using an "If cases" dialog box.
