Hi All,
First time poster here. I read through some of the Advice on Posting, but please correct me anywhwere if my etiquette is off.
Basically: I'm analyzing data from a Q Methodology study I've conducted. I have 20 different variables that contain the orders of statements which I had participants sort. An example of this data is here:
I'm trying to use
, which is a command that converts this data into a format to be factor analyzed. However, every time I run it I get an r(111) errror. I've tried running that command as
as well as
. However, every time I get
.
Does anyone have an idea of what may be happening here? Are my variable names not formatted correctly? I tried changing around the names, but that still doesn't seem to work. Other functions work just fine with those variable names. For example
works just fine.
Any help is appreciated, and please let me know if I can provide other details. I apologize if the formatting for the data example is poor, and I can fix as best as possible.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help!!

Code:
qconvert
Code:
qconvert var*, save(file)
Code:
qconvert var1-var20, save(file)
Code:
ranking not found r(111);
Does anyone have an idea of what may be happening here? Are my variable names not formatted correctly? I tried changing around the names, but that still doesn't seem to work. Other functions work just fine with those variable names. For example
Code:
sum var*
Any help is appreciated, and please let me know if I can provide other details. I apologize if the formatting for the data example is poor, and I can fix as best as possible.
