 students now we will see how we enter the data in the SPSS as you have told in the previous module that before the data entry we have to enter the information of the variable and we enter the information of the variable in the variable view and when we click in the variable view we have to add the information of the variable we have to scroll down i.e. in one row the overall information of one variable will be as shown here, wages so these wages how we have measured what is the information of it it will add row wise similarly the information of education will also add row wise same is the case with age and sex so what we do is that first when we enter the name of the variable in this first column then we have to remember that we have to remember that here we do not have to give any space nor do we have to use any symbol here we have to use numeric number here you can use alphabets and in this there should not be any space in the SPSS when we enter the data through the codes then your type is numeric that means when you will code the data SPSS it will be recognized in the form of number and you will give those numbers in the values that what this particular number is reflecting and then in this we see that the third column is the column of width i.e. your numeric number how much width it can be generally we have 8 width and after this in decimals if it will come you can see it to 2 decimals like 48000 there is no number in this if this value is like this 48.50 there are 2 decimals after this here you label it so label actually the actual name of the variable we are saying that we can write the wages wages of the respondents so in this we can use space here if we if we are giving it a code like in the section below we can add it in the context of wages if we have not given any code so here its value is none how do we see the code we will see it later if you click on this then you will have this interface dialogue box in which you have to add value and label like if you are giving the code of education so here if you write value 1 so here you will give the label freshman and when you will give it then this add button will be functional for you and if you add it then it will be added so here you have 4 levels when you add the value after adding you will press ok button so these are the values of your data for that variable so when you add values then in the variable view the cases in data view are row wise the variables are column wise so here you have representation in front of you now we will see the values given in the software now we will see how values are given in SPSS my file is already open now I will add another variable so I have to go to add that variable so here I have to add another variable I will add one more variable for instance city here I have used alphabets and there is no space and it is saved if I give space then it will not be saved if I give one space then it will not be saved so you will have a dialog box open variable name contains an illegal factor this is why when you enter you have to take care that there is no space our variable is of numeric type in this you have different type of variable but we mainly work on numeric type my decimal is not functional we will use absolute code for city variable name is city of the respondent so here when you have added total information then you can give space in it now when we click right click dialog box opens so I give value 1 and city law here I click on add I give 2 so I say so 3 value the code we have for islamic type 4 we have for rawl for pindic type so if we click on add then the codes will be added now here is one more we have introduced city as a variable it is very important that when we measure city as a variable then it is nominal there are 4 levels of measurement but in spss it is t nominal, ordinal and scale nominal variables as nominal will be shown here ordinal variables as ordinal will be shown here albatta interval variables and continuous variables as scale variable will be shown here here I will click on nominal and save so it will be saved and we can see it here go to case we can see in variable that we entered a city entered entered so here because we have not added any cases so you can see this as a dot if we add cases information then you will have its information so this procedure is how we give value in spss software
