When I try to upload data from an Excel file to SPSS as usual, it says that the file contains no data and that the command has been stopped. I have searched the internet for an answer to why this occurs, but I haven't found a solution. Has anyone come across this before and can advise?
If you're experiencing an issue where SPSS is unable to recognize data in your Excel file and the command is being stopped, there could be a few potential causes for this problem. Here are some common reasons and solutions to consider:
If none of these solutions resolve the problem, it might be worth reaching out to SPSS support or consulting with a technical expert who can analyze the specific error message or provide further assistance based on your system and software configuration.
Hello Mathias,
In addition to Aman's helpful list of possible causes, do recognize that you can also save ("export") excel worksheets as: (a) text (tab delimited); (b) csv (comma separated values); or (c) formatted text (space delimited values), among others, and the SPSS import wizard can handle any of these types.
Good luck with your work.
Dear Mr Prabhakar and Mr Morse, thank you both for your help. Now I finally could transfer my data to SPSS. Wish you all the best!
as they can't have a minimum of morals, don't post CHATGPT answers and I don't say that for David.
