Description

Dear user support team,

I've found that o_fihhmngrs_dv 'gross household income: month before interview' has a discrepancy between the dataset and the Understanding Society website.
I am looking at wave 15, doing an output for the mean, median, minimum and maximum I found that the mean is lower than on the website due to a discrepancy between the maximum amount a respondent gave on the dataset and website.
On the dataset, the maximum amount o_fihhmngrs_dv features is 48615.1 whereas on the website it is 398195.9


Here is the output and syntax I wrote, I've made sure no weights are included and no cases are intentionally excluded. I am looking at this variable from the Wave 15 household respondent datafile 'o_hhresp.sav'.


Here is what is shown on the Understanding Society website.

Am I writing my syntax incorrectly in SPSS or is there a process I have forgotten to follow?

Thank you,
M Kozdron.
