I am about to add tutorials and exercises using Excel spreadsheets as an alternative to ASCII files for raw data input. These replicate the blank transfer sheet above, but there are also sample files with data from 10 questionnaires and a file with the full cumulative data from all waves (N = 169). These can be imported into SPSS using the GET DATA command or by copying and pasting the contents directly into the SPSS Data Editor.
