Data and Variable Editor

 

• The Data Editor window is the default window and opens when SPSS opens

 

 

• This window displays the content of any open data files and provides drop-down menus that allow you to modify and analyze data. The data are displayed in a spreadsheet format where columns represent variables and rows represent cases.

 

• The spreadsheet format includes two tabs at the bottom labeled Data View and Variable View.

 

 

• The Data View tab displays the open dataset where variables appear in the columns and cases appear in the rows.

 

 

• The Variable View tab displays information about variables in the dataset (but not the data themselves), such as variable names, types, and labels.
