What you need

  • The model must have a saved data set still in sync with the current settings.
  • IBM SPSS or a compatible tool is needed to run the .SPS syntax file.

Limits to know

  • It does not create academic Word reports or interpret results for the researcher.
  • The .SPS file is syntax/data, not a ready-run .SAV result file.
Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

No. It exports data and syntax; the analysis, interpretation and report writing are up to the researcher.
The coded CSV suits quantitative analysis; the text-answer CSV makes it easy to read and cross-check content by choice label.
