Is anyone familiar with the inverse syntax in SPSS. I'm trying to multiple two variables and get the inverse of that and it is not working.

The calculation is (X*Y)^-1.

The ^-1 is the part that SPSS does not like. How can I transform that into the correct syntax?

Thanks in advance...

Concisely,
1/(X*Y) .

Generally, probably
(X*Y)**(-1) , like in Fortran.
