My survey had 60 questions that used a 5-point Likert scale, and I would like to know the number (and %) of respondents that answered either 4 or 5 for each of those 60 questions.
Morning,
I don'tknow the reason for the question, but there are several ways to do it. The simplest would be to calculate a new variable using the condition "if item... > 4 then new_variable +1". An der then just check the variable. It cannot be higher than 60. The number will indicate how many variables with scores 4 and 5 you have in this specific case (participant).

SPSS has the facility to count the number of respondents chosed 04 or 05 of Likert Scale.
Hello Betty,
I think I might be able to help if you are using SPSS, which is slightly different from what Yevgen has suggested above (though what he has suggested would work). It seems you want to streamline the process of finding who answered with either 4 or 5, and not to have to analyse each separately or to have to do a lot of separate analyses. The SPSS options under Transform should help. Here's a website that might be useful:

There are different ways of going about things (you could create a new variable, or recode your existing variable), so you could work out which one suits you best.

You don't say what software you are asking about, so I will answer with freeware since everyone has access to it. I'll use R since it seems like the most widely used freeware. Let's say your 60 items are stored in a nX60 matrix called items (this might be made with items
