pspp?
Umm. You've got a couple of different things going on
there.
Do you want to open an Excel file (.xls, xlst) or XML (.xml). If
you
want to open an excel file (spreadsheet), the easiest way is probably
to
export it from Excel to a comma separated values file (.csv) which
pspp
and psppire can both read. I have also been known to use R (R-CRAN)
to
import data directly from excel files and export them as .sav
file.
The first way is probably what you are looking for. Once you
export your
data from Excel or OpenOffice.org as a .csv file, you can
import into
PSPP really easily. See:
File --> Import Delimited
Text Data
If you are trying to import a .xml file, I can't help you. I
don't do a
lot of web stuff and I'm pretty ignorant about XML files, but I
can tell
you that you are going to need to translate from XML into
something
like .csv. Without seeing the original data structure, I have no
idea
how hard that might be to do.
I hope this helped.
