Script/ package to reverse score 0-100 variable

[Isabel Ruthotto]

Hi there,

I have a variable with values ranging from 0 to 100 (whole numbers). I want to reverse score these values (so, 100 becomes 0, 99 becomes 1, 98 becomes 2 etc.). I'm only familiar with the recode command - is there a less arduous way to do that?

Thank you!!
Isabel

Yes, there is.

generate newvar = 100 - oldvar

Haha, I should have thought of that. My tired brain couldn't figure it out. Thanks!
