Re: have to save PSPP file as an Excel File (& visa versa)

[Alan Mead]

You can't.

You can import from and save to OpenOffice/LibreOffice/ODF formats, but
not Excel. You can also use CSV.

In SPSS, I dislike opening Excel files because AFAIK, there is no way to
specify the format of the variables when opening Excel. Occasionally,
this is a real PITA. So, I find it worthwhile to convert to something
like CSV even when I don't have to (using SPSS).

I guess it's convenient to save data to Excel, but Excel can read ODF
files, so you can save to .ODS and open that with Excel.

stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was
astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
