Hi SellyGer15,
You can activate the "compute columns" functionality. With your variable called X, say, the code would look something like X >median(X),
and this will create a column with 0 and 1's that code for whether that particular X is larger than the median.

Hello EJ, thank you very much! Where can i find the Function?
You can click on the black "+" sign on the next column to bring up the interface. But first I would search for "compute columns" on this page: https://jasp-stats.org/how-to-use-jasp/ and check out the blog post and gifs.
