To create a new question by superposing questions:

  1. In the edit menu select create a variable.... The calculated question window appears.

  2. Select by superposing questions.

  3. Select the OR all responses or AND all responses.

  4. Enter the codes that you want to reject.

  5. Clicking the following icon: tplus.

  6. Check that only the selected categories correspond to those you want to total.

Note: If, in your combined question, you want to include a response option from only one of the questions, even though it is present in the other question you plan to use in this superposed calculated variable, do the following:

1. Select the none category in the first question in your list.
2. Select allow lists of different sizes.
3. Clear (de-select) the none category for the other questions in the list.
