Hello,

 

I need to create a variable based on responses from another variable as follows:

 

if KN2 = 1 and 2, or 3, or 8, AND KN3 = 1, 2, or 3 then I2 = 1; esle I2 = 0.

 

Right now I'm using the following code:

if ((kn2 = 1 and kn2 = 2) or kn2 in (3,8)) and kn3 in (1:3) then i2 = 1;
else i2 = 0;

 

Is there a better way to write this code? Thanks!

The question was multiple response, and data were entered as needed; i.e. KN2 = 1 if respondant answered with 1 AND 2, or 3 or 8; 0 otherwise.

How is it possible for kn2 to be both 1 and 2 at the same time?

You may need to understand the requirements better.

What is the correct requirement then?
