Floating point error in analysis (describe)
re: "invalid floating pint" error with DESCRIBE in Analysis
I use the command line editor to issue DESCRIBE * command, and I get descriptive summaries of all variables, including the variable called AMOUNT.
But when I issue the command DESCRIBE AMOUNT, I get an error message: Invalid floating point operation
Please do the following: 1. Download the most recent testing version of EpiData Analysis: www.epidata.dk/testing.php 2. Retry the same analysis 3. Report to the list if the problem persisted. 4. If the problem persisted: a. pack your data file in a zip file (e.g. with epidata entry - tools menu). b. report the error to the epidata mantis system http://www.epidata.dk/php/mantis/login_page.php and upload the zip file as part of the error report.

OK, I'll give it a try. Should I uninstall my current Analysis before installing the test version?

I uninstalled Analysis, installed the testing version as you recommended, and the problem no longer occurs.
