Transferring variable labels to variable values in SPSS/Python
<p>I have a database (300 variables, 4000 cases) with lots of date/time variables. I imported into SPSS from Excel and used autorecode on all my variables but the variable LABELS contain the date/time information and the variable VALUES are all the default "October 14, 1582".</p>

<p>Is there an easy way either in SPSS or using Python to copy the variable labels over to the variable values? Is there a way I can only do this to some of my variables (eg., up to a certain point in the index?)</p>

<p>Many thanks! Mat.</p>
