Hi,

on the Limesurvey forum ( https://www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i- ... ile#198756 ) I got the tip to use PSPP to create the .sav file.
I wanted to report, that this works perfectly.

Solution in steps:
1. Export your results/data from Limesurvey as SPSS (syntax and data file)
2. Use PSPP ( https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/ ) and open the syntax file
3. you will probably need to adjust the source in the syntax file:

Code: Select all

 /FILE='survey_99999_SPSS_data_file.dat'
will probably need your path:

Code: Select all

 /FILE='c:\some\path\survey_596521_SPSS_data_file.dat'
4. mark all lines in the syntax file, select RUN ALL. This will import your data, and set all labels, datatype etc.
5. Still in PSPP save the data as "pspp format" (which is SPSS .sav)
6. open jamovi (https://www.jamovi.org/) /jasp (https://jasp-stats.org/) and open the file
7. be happy about your data and it's meta data

Hi,

me again, I took the time to create a video demonstration:

(sorry, can't embed here, MP4, 2,5 MB, 2 Min 20 Sec)

I also created a PDF (1.2 MB) with the most important frames. Link: https://datenbank-projekt.de/index.php/ ... file/593/0
