Save Data As

Save Data As lets you save a data file to a new or existing file name and/or type. Alternatively, you can select Shift+Ctrl+S to save a data file to a new or existing file name and/or type.

You can choose from the following options for saving your data file:

To a Local Destination

Saves your data file to a local or network folder of your choice.
You can choose from the Recent folders dropdown list to locate a desired folder.
If you want to manually enter a filename, click anywhere within the File name: field and type the name. You will need to include the full filepath if you want the data file to reside in a folder other than that displayed.

To TAG Drive (For new customers and customers in the WinCross annual maintenance program)

Allows you to save your data file to our TAG Drive. TAG Drive is a cloud-based file storage feature of the TAG Client Portal and allows you to open and save files that are accessible from anywhere. This can be especially helpful if you are traveling or working from home and do not have access to your network drives from outside of the office.

From the menus on the TAG Drive tab, you can:

Groups

Rename Group - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive group by entering a new group name.
Delete Group - lets you delete the selected TAG Drive group. The projects under that group are moved to the Ungrouped Projects group.

Projects

Add New Project - lets you create a new project for TAG Drive that is accessible from anywhere. Job, data and report files can then be saved to the new project.
Add Files to Project - lets you browse to a location and copy files to the selected TAG Drive project.
Rename Project - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive project by entering a new project name.
Delete Project - lets you delete the selected TAG Drive project. Delete Project will delete all files for that project. The project and its files will no longer be available to other users with whom the project has been shared.

Files

Add Files to Project - lets you browse to a location and copy files to the selected TAG Drive project.
Rename File - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive file by entering a new file name.
Delete File - lets you delete existing TAG Drive files from the selected project. The files will no longer be available to other users with whom that project has been shared.

Refresh Lists - refreshes the list of TAG Drive Project groups/Projects/Files.

ASCII fixed (*) data files

ASCII fixed (*) data files can only be saved as the same type as the open data file using File|Save|Save Data As.

Other data files

Other data files can be saved as ASCII fixed (*), SPSS (*.sav), comma-delimited (*.csv), tab-delimited (*.tab, *.tsv), or MS Excel (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm) using File|Save|Save Data As.
When the variable-type data file is being saved as ASCII fixed (*) format, the Export Width of each variable on the Variables tab of the data grid is used for saving the data.
When the data file is saved as a new file name or file type, the new file is opened in WinCross.
If a variable data file is being viewed with the Value labels option selected on the Data tab of the data grid, when the data file is saved as comma-delimited (*.csv), tab-delimited (*.tab, *.tsv), or MS Excel (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm), the new data file will be saved with value labels instead of code values.
When saving a non-SPSS variable data file with variable names to an SPSS (*.sav) data file and the variable names are out of compliance with SPSS rules, WinCross will rename the variables for you and issue a message letting you know how many variables were renamed. For example, the variable name Q2-R1 in an Excel data file (*.xls or *.xlsx) would be renamed to Q2R1 when saving that Excel data file (*.xls or *.xlsx) to an SPSS (*.sav) data file. If the variable name Q2R1 was already being used in the data file, WinCross would assign another unique variable name (e.g. Q2R100002) to prevent duplicate variable names.
