I have created a new variable based on a Factor Analysis. How do I re-scale this variable (or a new variable based on this) to 1-100? Is there an easy way? Currently its -x to + x.

Also, will we get a new feature which allows the user to automatically add the factors from a factor analysis as a new variable?

Cheers

Hi, @ scro1461.

Here's a tip for you to scale your variable to 1-100.
Compute a new variable (DATA-> Compute) and insert the formula:
99 / (VMAX (varname) - VMIN (varname)) * (varname - VMIN (varname)) + 1

In the formula, replace varname with the name of your variable to be scaled, while 99 is the difference between the maximum and minimum value of the new variable (100 - 1) and 1 is the minimum value for the new variable.

Maurizio

yes. this should land in the next couple of weeks.

Do we have an ETA went this will be available. Will be really useful when I teach students in Feb.

hi,

this may land by feb, but also might not sorry. i'd say it's 50/50

predicting how long a feature will take to develop is a bit of a black art.
