    Re: How to convert .sav SPSS file to Excel

    SPSS is a software package used for conducting statistical analyses, manipulating data, and generating tables and graphs that summarize data. Statistical analyses range from basic descriptive statistics (averages and frequencies) to advanced inferential statistics (regression models, analysis of variance, and factor analysis).

    SPSS contains several tools for manipulating data, including functions for recoding data and computing new variables as well as merging and aggregating datasets. SPSS also has a number of ways to summarize and display data in the form of tables and graphs.

    With SPSS data editor, you can just convert .sav into excel.

    SAV file is the native file format for SPSS data files. It is a binary file format containing both data and "dictionary" information pertaining to the dataset, including variable labels and value labels. Many statistical packages and other commercial third-party tools offer methods of converting SPSS data files into different formats.

    Download perl script which can be used to extract metadata from SPSS data files.

    For this, you must have a perl interpreter installed on your sysetm.
    On Unix systems, check for /usr/bin/perl.
    On Windows, try ActiveState Perl.

    Here' the perl script - spssread

    Download and Run SPSS data access

    You need to configure with a name and a path in the database field after it installs the spss odbc driver. Just put a path to the directory, not the actual file.
