You first need to save the file you are working on from within the application. Save as you normally would when working within the program locally, ensuring you save to the folder you created within your Monash drive. To download the file, click on the hamburger at the top centre of the screen and then click on the download button cloud with a downward facing arrow.
Select the file you wish to download and press "open". The file should now be on your local computer e. Contact the vLab Manager. Previous menu Toggle navigation. Identify an area of interest 1. You can then open them within SPSS. This will allow you to search through the various directories on your computer to find where you have stored your data files. Find the file you wish to use and click Open. This is a real data file, condensed from a study that was conducted by my Graduate Diploma in Educational Psychology students.
The study was designed to explore the factors that impact on respondents' psychological adjustment and wellbeing. The survey contained a variety of validated scales measuring constructs that the extensive literature on stress and coping suggest influence people's experience of stress.
The scales measured self-esteem, optimism, perceptions of control, perceived stress, positive and negative affect, and life satisfaction. A scale was also included that measured people's tendency to present themselves in a favourable or socially desirable manner.

Or perhaps you need to double-check your entry of the data by comparing the original survey to the values you entered in SPSS. The main point is that you should not rely on the row numbers in SPSS since they are merely visual guides and not part of your data.
Instead, you should create a specific variable that will serve as an ID for each case so that you can always identify certain cases in your data, no matter how much you rearrange the data. In the sample data file, the variable ids acts as the ID variable. Search this Guide Search. Also covered is the difference between row numbers which are a part of the spreadsheet and ID variables which are a part of the dataset and act as case identifiers.
Follow these steps to enter data: Click the Variable View tab. Repeat these steps for each variable that you will include in your dataset. Don't forget to periodically save your progress as you enter data. Inserting or Deleting Single Cases Sometimes you may need to add new cases or delete existing cases from your dataset. Inserting a Case To insert a new case into a dataset: In Data View, click a row number or individual cell below where you want your new row to be inserted.
Type in the values for each variable in the new case. Deleting a Case To delete an existing case from a dataset: In the Data View tab, click the case number row that you wish to delete. This will highlight the row for the case you selected. This will remove the entire row from the dataset. Inserting or Deleting Single Variables Sometimes you may need to add new variables or delete existing variables from your dataset. Locate your file and click on it to select it, then click OK.
This will start the Text Import Wizard process, which will walk you through the process of specifying how SPSS should read and interpret the data file. This window provides a preview of the data in your text file. The first step is to indicate whether the data matches a predefined format, which would be a format saved from a previous text file imported with the Text Import Wizard.
This would be the case if you had already imported a text data file into SPSS in the past that was formatted exactly the same way, and had chosen to save the import format during the last step of the Text Import Wizard. In most cases there will not be a predefined format. If your data matches a predefined format, click Yes and then browse for and upload the file that defines the format.
If your data do not match a predefined format, click No , then click Next. If your data did not match a predefined format you will need to tell SPSS how your data is arranged, so that it understands where one column ends and the next begins. For text files, there are two types of "arrangements": delimited and fixed width. If you are importing a CSV file, you have delimited data.
You will also need to tell SPSS if the datafile contains variable names. For CSV files, variable names are typically included on the first line of the data file, before the data begins; however, some datafiles do not include variable names.
In the "How are your variables arranged" area, click the radio button that matches your data's format:. In the "Are variable names included at the top of your file" area, click Yes or No. We now need to tell SPSS what row our data begins on, and how many rows should be read. For CSV files, the first row typically contains the variable names, and the data values begin on line 2.
However, you can choose to skip over certain lines if necessary. One example where this occurs is in Qualtrics survey data output to CSV: The second row frequently contains variable labels, and oftentimes there may be a third row containing import IDs, and the data actually begins on line 4. In the "Which delimiters appear between variables" area, select the check box that reflects the delimiter used in your data.
The delimiter is what is used to separate values from each other within the data. If the text file is a. If you do not know which delimiter is used in the text file, refer to documentation that is associated with your data or ask someone who knows how the data file was created.
The options Remove leading spaces from string values and Removing trailing spaces from string values were added in SPSS version
