SPSS 25 hangs when Excel is open at same time

Lombardo, Barbara

 

When I am running SPSS 25 (also happened previous version) at the same time Excel is open, SPSS hangs and I have to kill it with task manager.  This also happens to others in my office.

Any solutions, because I am really getting sick of this problem and losing data.

 

Thanks

I have never seen that happen.  Does it happen when you are interacting with an Excel file in any way?  With ODBC?  With some particular SPSS commands?  Shared network files?

Are both SPSS and Excel the same bitness - both either 32 bit or 64?

What OS and is it 32 bit or 64?

I’ve never seen this either. I have EXCEL and SPSS open at the same time on my MAC very frequently, and have been doing so for many years though many versions of: mac operating system; EXCEL; SPSS

Your machine set up may need review

I’ve had issues (on a mac), but I always assumed it was related to a less than ideal internet connection.  Especially if I have OneDrive open to synch.  Last night SPSS froze when I was closing (through command W) a syntax window -  just after saving (to a new filename) an open data window..  I did happen to have excel open, though I am not certain it’s always been open when I have an SPSS freeze.  I just recently shifted from v24 to v25 (and to High Sierra), but I had freezes in v24 too.

Re: SPSS 25 hangs when Excel is open at same time

Timothy Hennigar-2

Well .. from versions SPSS PC Plus through to version 25 – I use SPSS and excel together ALL the  time - and have rarely had any crashes of any kind that come to memory.  If I thought there

was any ‘blame’ anywhere I’d level it with Microsoft – I love Excel .. but it works like a piece of crap … (as does Windows most of time) .   They seem so intent on changing things every other day

they can’t make a piece of software actually RUN correctly – I swear the pace of change is DESIGNED to cover up the fact the software is crap. 

 

When I have troubles with SPSS lately it isn’t usually hanging it is that all these lovely programs that people are creating to sync files to the cloud or across a network cant do their work in sufficient

time for SPSS - you get conflicts over ‘open or ownership’ of files all the time. I usually resort to ending the syncing of files until  I complete the job ..

 

But overall, it seems to me, to get things to run on as many devices as possible (from phones and tablets to power-house work stations, in as few system languages as possible) the result has been

serve the ‘lowest common denominator’ and for anyone that actually works for a living – the software today (2018) is a joke versus the reliability it used to have

 

 

 

Thanks!
