  • 1.  Diagram creation doesn't work

    Posted Fri June 10, 2022 10:02 AM

    Hello,

    I'm a completely beginner with using spss. I'm using it for my doctoral thesis but since a few days, the diagram creation doesn't open anymore when I try to open it using the menu. I already have uninstalled and reinstalled the program but it's the same thing again.

    Can anybody help me getting the diagram creation back again?

    Thanks a lot!!

    Hi. Can you tell me which menu item you are using that is failing? What is the error message you are getting?

    Hi,
    I can't explain it very well, so I made screenshots. I use SPSS in german and I usually clicked "Grafik" > "Diagrammerstellung" as you can see in the screenshots. But there is no error message, there is just nothing happening..

    OK. Could you please try this:

    1. Open a terminal window.
    2. cd "/Applications/IBM SPSS Statistics/SPSS Statistics.app/Contents/MacOS"
    3. ./stats
    4. 0pen your data
    5. Try the Chart Builder again

    My guess is that some text (possibly many lines) will display in the console window. If so, please highlight and copy them into a text document and send that to me at marcantr@us.ibm.com.

    Oh, and in that same terminal window, after you stop SPSS, please enter this command:

    system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType

    and let me know what it says.

    Thanks.

    Also, and very important: Please be sure that you are running the latest version of SPSS: Version 28.0.1.1.

    My guess is that you are using version 28.0.0.0 or 28.0.1.0.

    Go here.
