I have calculated the ROC curve and its coordinates using SPSS, I can choose the maximum cutoff by eye balling but want to use Youden's index (Y.I) to calculate which cutoff point gives me best sensitivity and specificity (maximum) for a particular diagnostic test.Can i calculate Y.I via SPSS?

I have calculated the Y.I by following formula but still puzzled about the cutoff values. I have attached the spread sheet showing the calculations. 

Y.I = (SN + SP) -1
