Convert SPSS .SAV file to CSV (for Excel)

#misc

SPSS alternative, GNU PSPP includes a very easy-to-use tool that can convert the SPSS SAV file to CSV. This can be further read into Excel. Just open the CSV file in Excel. If Excel does not automatically split data, choose the first column, go to the Data tab, and select “text to columns” and use a comma as a separator.

Usage is very simple:

pspp-convert <input.sav> <output.csv>

More instructions in documentation. You can download the Windows version of SPSS at least from the pspp4windows Source Forge project page.
