I Want to summarize data set( or Variable)

With descriptive Statistics road ending, I want to bid farewell with one more important command. The command is summarize. this gives brief summary statistics about all the variables or a specific chosen variable.

Form the menu bar, follow these steps

  1. Select Statistics > Summaries, tables, and tests > Summary and descriptive statistics > Summary statistics.
  2. Enter or select [Variable] in the Variables field.
  3. Select Display additional statistics.
  4. Click Submit.

Syntax:

.summarize or summ

or

.summarize [variable] or summ [variable]

This will output the details of the variable including percentile, mean, Kurtosis, Skewness and Standard Deviation.
