Importing Data

Importing data from Excel spreadsheet into SPSS

In SPSS, go to:
File, Open, Data
Select Type of file (for example, Excel) you want to open
Select File name you want to open
Preparing Excel

Open the Excel spreadsheet from which


you wish to import data.

You can see in our example that we have


5 columns of data.

Before you begin the process of importing


your data into SPSS, you need to ensure
that your variable names are in the first
row of the worksheet, and that there is no
gap between the first and second rows.
It’s also wise to clean up your data. For
example, if you had coded one of the
Frisbee Throwing Distance items as “50m”
rather than just “50”, this would be a good
time to make a correction.
Importing Data from Excel into SPSS
To start, click File -> Open -> Data (as below).
Importing Data from Excel into SPSS

Once you click Data, the Open


Data box will appear.
In the Files of type box, you
need to select Excel (see 1
above, though obviously
things will look slightly
different if you’re using a Mac)
. Then navigate to the folder
that contains your Excel file,
and you’ll see your Excel file
pop up (see 2 above). Open
the file, and you’ll get the
Read Excel File dialog box.
Read Excel File Dialog Box
This dialog box offers a number of options.
Mainly these are self-explanatory, but it is
probably worth explaining the
“Percentage of values that determine
data type” option. This is how the latest
version of SPSS assigns a data type to
your variables. The percentage is the
proportion of values in a particular column
that must match a specific data type for
SPSS to assign that data type to a
variable. In our example, a variable will be
assigned to a particular data type if 95%
of values match that type (for example, if
95% of values are numeric in form). The
value can be any number above 50. If
SPSS is unable to determine a data type
on this basis it will assign the variable to a
string type.
