Hi,
I would like to generate a variable that contains the count of the value 3 across several columns.
Part of the dataset is shown below and for example for the first row the new variable will take the value of 4 as there are 4 3s across the 8 variables.
For the second row it will take again the value of 4 and so on.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Nikos
