CANNOT export to SPSS - filename error

Post by Sassenach.Girl »

Hi there,

I am trying to export my Jamovi file to SPSS (.sav) format with the file name forSPSS.sav. However I am getting the error "Save failed - A provided name contains an illegal character" which is clearly not correct.

Please advise?

Thanks
SG

hi,

sorry, this error message is misleading. the problem is that one of your columns has a name which isn't allowed in the spss file format. one of your columns has an unusual name, if you adjust that, it should save as .sav just fine.

cheers
