STUDENT EMAIL: I am doing two excel sheets with the same set up as you have used in your videos for each of my suburbs, as I think that is the best and most logical way. So all in all, do you require 5 variables per suburb (the same five variables for both the suburbs), with 100 sales each suburb, and coming out with 5 models in SPSS? Everyone who I have spoken to have said they are enjoying it too. Great learning tool. Thanks for your help. I’m sure I’ll have more questions within the next week!
