Creating a Grouped Frequency Distribution Table or Chart with SPSS

You need to create a new variable that represents the class intervals for the grouped

frequency distribution. One way to do this is with the Visual Binning function in SPSS.

From the menu bar, select Transform, Visual Binning. Scoot the variable of interest into the

“Variables to Bin” pane.

Click Continue.

Provide a name for the binned variable – here I provided the name “NucoGroups.” SPSS has

already provided you with one cutpoint, HIGH. You provide the others. Put the cursor in the row

below high and enter a new cutpoint. I entered 90. Hit Return. Move the cursor to the bottom row of

the grid, enter another new cutpoint and hit Return.

Here I have enter 80 and 90 as cutpoints. Now I continue to enter additional cutpoints. When

I have finished entering cutpoints, I click on “Make Labels.”
