Re SPSS

If you use syntax, you can calculate the sum this way:

compute varname = sum (var1,var2,var3,var4,...).

This will ignore missing values and only perform the function using cells
that have values. For means, the same idea applies:

compute varname = mean (var1,var2,var3,var4..).

SPSS will ignore the missing values and calculate the mean of the items that
have values.
