If you mean pooled imputed values for raw data points, there is no such thing.  When you use multiple imputation, the model is run on each of the imputed data sets, and then pooled estimates of model parameters and their standard errors are computed (via formulae described by Rubin & others).  

This same question has appeared before on this list quite recently.  Search the archives for other responses.

I am using Multiple Imputation in SPSS 20 to impute missing values. However, since I am running multivariate multilevel analysis with the MCMCglmm package in R, I need to export the data.

I have found no option to export the pooled imputed values. What would you recommend?

Thank you
