Good Day, Is it possible to generate a sample of data using CSPro software? For instance I want to generate a 20% Random sample of the a dataset.
Thanks in advance

Right-click on the dictionary in the dictionary tree and select Dictionary Macros. From there you can easily create a sample of your data file, specifying what percentage of the data file you want to retain.

Were you able to use the Dictionary Macros approach? You can specify 20 as the percentage of data that you want, and you can specify whether you want a sequential sample or a random sample.

Dear Greg,
Sorry for jumping into this old post. I was wondering, if it can be done through a program or menu based system?
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Regards

You can do this with a batch edit application although you need to write a bit of logic. Use a counter combined with the "skip case" statement to keep only every nth case.
