An issue with recovering my data on SPSS (urgent please)

  • 1.  An issue with recovering my data on SPSS (urgent please)

    Posted Wed August 09, 2023 03:25 PM
    Dear IBM team,
    I'm a medical doctor, in our hospital we have conducted a study and I tried IBM SPSS (trial version), and put my data there, but I was shocked when it told me that the period has expired, and since I saved my study data on SPSS form, not on a word file, I couldn't open the file as the period has expired and our study data will be lost. However, currently we couldn't afford to by the subscription to extend the app. Therefore, it would be highly appreciated if you could help me to take my data and upload it in word form.
     
    Thanks in advance
    Dr Ben khaled.

    Hello, sorry your trial expired before you could export your data. May I assume that you are referring to a .sav data file and not a .sps syntax file or a .spv output file? All three are native SPSS Statistics document formats. 

    I can think of two possible approaches to address your problem:

    1. Send a request to SPSS Support to have your trial extended by a few days so you can export your data to another file format, or
    2. Send your .sav file to me at brownicu@us.ibm.com and I can send it back to you in the format you require.

    Regards,
