Puede hacerlo de la siguiente manera:
Gen newvar=vara+varb+varc+vard+vare
Le generar� una nueva variable con la suma de las otras que me imagino deben estar codificadas como 0 y/o 1, el resultado ser� la suma de veces que fue seleccionado alg�n elemento.

Asunto: st: Creating a Count Variable
Hi
I have a range of 5 variables that ask respondents
who is responsible for different household household
tasks (vara, varb, varc, vard, vare). Respondents
have a choice of selecting one fo the followinvg
responses/values for each question:
1. Respondent Alone,
2. Respondent and Roomate
3. Respondent and Someone else
4.Roomate Alone
5. Someone else alone.
I want to create a variable that counts how many
times a respondent selects each of these
values/responses/choices across all the five
variables (vara - vare).
The resulting output would list per respondent, how
many times they selected each choice (across the 5
variables).
thanks very much -- CY
