File|Export to SPSS File

Export to SPSS File allows you to convert your ASCII fixed format (*), ASCII comma delimited (*.csv), ASCII tab delimited (*.tab or *.tsv) or Excel (*.xls, or *.xlsx) input data file to SPSS (*.sav) format.

IMPORTANT: WinCross Table Name (Setup|Tables) is used to create the SPSS variable name. Verify that your WinCross Table Name is valid as an SPSS variable name. Spaces in Table Name will automatically be converted to underscores when exporting to SPSS (e.g. "T1 NEW" becomes "T1_NEW").

If your data file is ASCII fixed format:

Use the column breaks header to assign column breaks in the ASCII data file.
To save the column breaks format for this data file, select Save Column Breaks on the Export Wizard dialog and select the folder and file name for saving this format. The file extension defaults to (*.wcd).
To load a previously saved column breaks format file for this data, select Load Column Breaks on the Export Wizard dialog and select the folder and file name. The column breaks format file extension defaults to (*.wcd).
Select OK to convert the ASCII fixed format data file to SPSS format.
Enter a file name in the File name field of the Save SPSS File dialog.
Select Save to save your ASCII fixed format data file as an SPSS data file.
WinCross also creates an SPSS syntax file (filename.sps) and a data layout text file (filename.txt) that lists the Orig Loc, Var Name and Var Label for the SPSS file created.

If your data file is ASCII comma delimited (*.csv), ASCII tab delimited (*.tab or *.tsv) or Excel (*.xls, or *.xlsx) format:

Enter a file name in the File name field of the Save SPSS File dialog.
Select Save to save your ASCII comma delimited (*.csv), ASCII tab delimited (*.tab or *.tsv) or Excel (*.xls, or *.xlsx) data file as an SPSS data file.
WinCross also creates an SPSS syntax file (filename.sps).

Note: SPSS Variables cannot be created for Indexed tables.
