How to use 'Split file' to analyse groups separately in SPSS. By using the Split file tool, SPSS will analyse groups of a categorical variable separately. E.g. split your file by gender to analyse males and females separately. This will not physically split your file - all your data stays in the same place. This resource from the "SPSS Tutorial Series" is contributed to the statstutor Community project by Christine Pereira, Brunel University and reviewed by Tim Sparks, Coventry University. It was developed with sigma resource development funding.
