Hi Ingo
The 'expression' is the name of the box in the 'compute variable' section of the software - these are the names assigned by the software developers - I'm wanting to combine variables to create a truth table but I can't find anywhere where it tells me how to do this - just information about truth tables and how to manipulate or interpret - but I can't get to that stage if I can't get the program to do something with my data.
Does that help?
Cheers

What exactly do you mean by combining cases and compare variables between sets of cases? And what expression do you have in mind in particular?

Betreff: fsQCA2.5
Hi
Could anyone please advise? I'd like to know the formula rules for creating an 'expression' in the 'compute variable' part of the 2.5 software. I have my data and have arranged it per the rules, saved as CSV file and imported successfully but now i need to work out how to combine cases and compare variables between sets of cases - which is what i think i need to create in that expression formula.
I've been searching all over but can't see any guide or video that explains how this is to work.
Really appreciate some assistance with this!
thanks
Sharon
