SPSS 27 Exact Fisher Message: b. Cannot be computed because unable to open temporary file.

  • 1.  SPSS 27 Exact Fisher Message: b. Cannot be computed because unable to open temporary file.

    Hi All,

    I am attempting to run Exact Fisher's test using SPSS 27. I receive this message: b. Cannot be computed because unable to open temporary file.

    Any guidance how to fix this?

    Thanks, Heather

    It might be trying to write to a directory where you don't have write permission.  Go to Edit > Options > File Locations and set the temporary folder to a writeable location, which must already exist.  Restart Statistics.  I am not sure that this setting will be respected here - which procedure are  you using - but it's easy to try.
