Opening data file curiosity
Locked
 
|
I saw something today I have never seen before in SPSS … A friend passed along an excel file I quickly wanted to convert to SPSS. I opened SPSS and then opened (read in) the excel file (as far as I could tell looking at the excel before doing this – standard stuff first row var names and data). Did not seem to be any issues. Saved as SPSS data file. Then – I thought I would quickly see if it opened ok … and when I tried to open it I am seeing a flash of a screen as it opens – it’s a quick flash – I can see some kind of large text graphic .. but its gone and the data is open before I can tell what it is – it does this on my 2nd install of SPSS 23 also so it is not one machine - does not happen in version 14. Is there a feature here I am not aware of ?? Thanks! ********************************* Notice: This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information.

No flash here: *.sav files open smoothly. Not tried importing from Excel as no suitable files.
