= SPSS Missing Values =

The '''`MISSING VALUES`''' command sets user missing values for a variable.

<<TableOfContents>>

----



== Usage ==

{{{
missing values foo bar (9)
 /baz (9, 0).
missing values foo bar (90 thru 99)
 /baz (90 thru 99, 0).
missing values ham ('NULL')
 /spam eggs ('NULL', 'NA', '').
}}}

The forward slashes (`/`) are optional.

Specifying no values between the parentheses (`()`) is equivalent to deleting the user missing values setting for a variable.

Up to three user missing values may be specified. If a numeric range is specified, up to one other user missing value may be specified.

The keywords `HI`/`HIGHEST` and `LO`/`LOWEST` dynamically capture the highest and lowest value. They are valid only in a numeric range.

Trailing spaces are trimmed from string values when checking for a user missing value.

----



== Data Model ==

The `MISSING VALUES` command executes immediately. Pending transformations are ''not'' executed and the active dataset is ''not'' read.
