Missing value in the Legacy Line Graph of SPSS Statistics.

Question & Answer


Question

I’m trying to a graph (line graph) of two variables using the Legacy Line Graph function of SPSS Statistics. They are on the same metric (x axis), but SPSS Statistics chooses only to plot the highest x value present for both variables. For example: Two variables (A and B) collected at timepoints 1 2 3 4 5; SPSS Statistics is only graphing A and B through timepoint 4, because B is missing data for timepoint 5 What syntax command or modification to the syntax should be applied so that all timepoints are graphed? The current syntax being used is: GRAPH /LINE(MULTIPLE)=MEAN(VarA) MEAN(VarB) BY TIMEPOINT /MISSING=LISTWISE.
