If I enter a continuous variable and name it with a single numeric digit like 1, and then I do a simple reverse score transform, the data in the resulting transformed variable is simply a string of all the same values. So I guess it is best to put a alpha letter in front like Q to make it Q1, because then the transform works well.

you can hopefully see that if you specify the formula: 1+4 , 5 is a pretty reasonable answer to give. :P

oh, but this is with the transformed variables ... i might be able to do something here.

cheers
