Trying to run a ind t-test, says 'at least on of the groups is empty. HELP!?

[Krystal89]

Im trying to write a practical report for uni. In doing so I am
required to test the difference between males and females in scores of
3 different tests. One of the tests works, but the other 2 dont,
saying that the group is missing. Needs to be finished today as I dont
have SPSS at home. Please help me, this is the first time Ive used
SPSS.

Thanks guys :)

You've got the variables in the wrong places--i.e., you're
treating RELAGG as the group variable and SEX as the dependent
variable.
