Hi All,

I have a variable that has 28 unique non-integer values, which range from 2.87 to 6.04. I would like to recode the values to positive integers from 1 to 28 respectively. Is there a simpler way instead of "recode old var (2.87=1)....(6.04=28), generate(new var)" to accomplish this? Thank you.

Best,
Frank
