Beginners question ; computing multiplication

Post by Blacktangledheart »

How can I compute one variable (continuous) X variable (continuous) on jamovi.

Keep getting the error message that the variable is misspecified currently

Thanks

The compute function should work easily enough. Perhaps there is something about the name of your variable - does it have a gap? If so, you'll need to make use of the 'back ticks' if typing this manually (or just double click the variable names from the list in the compute function to do this automatically:

e.g.
`Variable A` * `Variable B`
