Data Multiple ResponseWhen you ask questions where respondents are allowed to give more than one
answer, this will result is more than one variable in the SPSS data file. But
since the answers all relate to the same question, you would like to present
them in a single table or graph. There are two way in which you can code a multiple response question, namely
as dichotomies or as categories. This is explained on the
Codebook
