You can use online converter  developed by me at N counter    This is the easiest way to open SPSS file in Excel    1  You just have to upload your file to SPSS coN verter at https   secure ncounter de SpssConverter   2  Select some options   3  And your converted Excel file will be downloaded   No information about your file contents is retained on our server  The file travels to our server  is converted in-memory  and is immediately discarded  We don t peer into your data at any time
