  • Generating a composite variable to reflect the number of answered questions

    Hello,
    I want to generate a composite variable “ppe” from 10 variables which have been coded 0 “no” & 1 “yes” but with missing data. The composite variable should reflect the number of answered questions e.g.
    S.no var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6 var7 var8 var9 var10 ppe
    1 0 1 0 1 1 1 . 0 1 . 8
    2 1 . . . 1 1 1 1 0 0 7




    The values in column labled ppe is the answers I expect. What is the correct script to do this? Thank you in advance
