Dear all

I have executed a survey for my master thesis, and now I need to combine the variables regarding the same topic in one new main variable.
E.g. Q3_1; Q3_2 & Q3_3 (in the survey, we use a 5-scale question, so the answers differ between 1 and 5).

Now is my question, if I could make a new variable named Q3 and thereby sum up the values of Q3_1; Q3_2 & Q3_3?

Kind regards
Emma Desnouck
