Hi guys,

I want to reformat my data. If gender="M", I'll reformat it as 1.if others,  I'll reformat it as 0.  I wrote the codes as below. But it didn't work as expected.  Did I use "others" wrongly?  Thanks.

Tomi

Hi Tomiking...

Small correction in your code...

Just write "OTHER" instead of "OTHERS".....:-)

Thanks & Regards
