Hi everyone,

I just started using PSPP (and I'm not a programmer). I'd like to export my 
entire data table to a format I can use in Excel. I read in the archives that 
you can export an output table to .csv but I don't see an option to export the 
whole data table.

I tried exporting the data table as a .por file but I get an error. It says, 
"error: creating temporary file C:\Program Files\PSPP\test;.por.tmpOOIp1n: 
Permission denied."
We have to have an admin login to install programs so I wonder if I can't even 
write to the C:\Program Files folder. Any thoughts?  I also tried going through 
the syntax editor and doing EXPORT (calling it a .csv file) but I got the same 
error.

Somehow, though, the other day I did manage to create a .por file. However it 
was really small and came through totally jumbled when I tried to open it in 
Excel using the Text Import Wizard. Using Excel 2010 and PSPPIRE 0.7.5-g70514b.

Finally I tried selecting the whole table and simply Copy->Paste. This is 
almost works except I consistently lose about 8 rows of data  (from the middle 
of my dataset). And the headers don't copy over. Our dataset only has 145 rows 
of data so far but we have 427 variables (huge survey). It won't let me Copy 
from Variable View (I could grab the column headers that way and transpose in 
Excel).

Any thoughts? We really need to get this data table into Excel for a project 
partner.

Thank you,
Jessie
