Robert,
Something like this?
sort cases by Cluster.
execute.
split file by Cluster.
execute.
freq / Code.
split file off.
execute.
All that was from memory and untested; my apologies if I remembered
wrong but hopefully it suggests the solution.

Dear all,
I recently started using PSPP to analyse sav data. I must say that
I have no previous experience with SPSS. But from what I have seen
so far, I very much like PSPP. I have one (maybe simple) question
that I couldn't find an answer for in the documentation.
In an Excel file I have a list that looks as follows:
Cluster | Code
2A | 33edfdkeew
2A | 29dnewdnd
2B | sd2034wss
2B | 29jsnn2221
Then I have a sav file that I analyse with PSPP. This file
contains ~ 400 cases, all with unique entries for the "Code"
variable. I want to perform the analysis of the data for the
different clusters. Thus, I want to filter the file for cases
whose codes belong to a specific cluster.
What is the best way of doing this in PSPP?
Select cases only allows me to select a random case sample, based
on a range (but only allowing me to select case numbers) or a
filter variable (which I don't have in my default sav file).
My current idea was to create 2 new variables for the two
different clusters and then assign a 1 to the variable for each
case that belongs to the respective cluster. However, this seems
to be very inconvenient and I am wondering if there is a better
way to do this.
Thanks ahead!
Robert
