Recode into the Same Variable in SPSS

Sometimes you have to recode your values, meaning that you need to change the numeric value associated with a level or category of your variable. This most often happens when you did not set up your data collection in Qualtrics with numeric values, when you are changing a variable, or when you made a mistake during data collection. There are two different ways to recode variables manually: 1) Recode into Different Variables, and 2) Recode into Same Variables. This video is on Recoding in the Same Variable using the menus. I end this video with a discussion on syntax. Note that I RARELY do this.
