Hey,
I'm stuck on a simple thing and would really need some help. I have a non-numeric variable ranging from -5 to +5. I want to make it into only positive values so that -5 represents 1 and -4 represents 2 etc. Does anyone know how to do this easily? I suppose I first encode it but when I have done so and then recoded the variables to positive ones i only get values between 6 to 10 even though I recoded -5 to 1.
