2. **Go to the “Variable View”**: Click on the “Variable View” tab at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n

3. **Select the variable**: Select the variable for which you want to change the value labels by clicking on its name.<\/p>\n

4. **Double-click on the “Values” cell**: In the “Values” column for the selected variable, double-click on the cell.<\/p>\n

5. **Enter the new value labels**: A dialog box will open where you can enter the new value labels for each numerical value.<\/p>\n

6. **Click “Add” for each value**: Enter the numerical value in the “Value” box and the corresponding label in the “Value Label” box, then click “Add” to add it to the list.<\/p>\n

7. **Repeat for all values**: Repeat steps 5-6 for each numerical value that you want to change the label for.<\/p>\n

8. **Click “OK”**: Once you have entered all the new value labels, click “OK” to save your changes.<\/p>\n
