Hello,

I am trying to compare just two levels out of two separate variables that involve 5 levels each.

They are two nominal variables on a 5 point scale and I want to just take out the 5's (Extremely Important) raters from both separate categories.

if you want to filter these out of the whole data set, then you can use filters, and use a filter like:

column1 != 5 and column2 != 5

alternatively, you could use transformed variables, and construct a new variable for each column with the 5 removed. you could use the formula:

if $source == 5 use NA
else use $source
