jamovi

When the importation of SPSS data sets is implemented, will variable labels be included? The haven::read_spss function imports them, but not many R functions use them. Here's an example of some R functions that use labels nicely, though I don't know if they're compatible with the way haven imports them: https://strengejacke.wordpress.com/2014 ... -r-rstats/.

Similarly, haven::labelled_spss handles user-defined missing values, but I don't know of any functions that process them.

haven does a really nice job importing the various types of SAS and Stata files too.

i expect we'll *only* use the labels. whatever underlying (8 character) ID the computer uses in the background isn't relevant to the user.

Var labels are the main thing. I rarely see people using the user-defined missing value labels.

In the latest 0.8.5 release!

I just tested it & it's working great. Thanks!

Hi Jonathan,
First of all, I really wanted to thank you and the JAMOVI team for making such a great user-friendly software for teaching statistics in our nursing class.
Anyway, I had a similar related question to this thread if that is OK. When importing large .sav file to JAMOVI, it does not include value labels or missing values (e.g., 9, 999, etc); however, opening in PSPP (open source program) had no issues. I think the workaround was to open in R with haven package (then adding labels and missing values) but I would like to open it using JAMOVI directly if possible. Here is the link to the data: https://ln4.sync.com/dl/ea1f804a0/a46pzijg-xyfy3zei-4xmp4f7q-t4fcgxp9

Any thoughts and direction would be much appreciated.

yeah, start a new thread next time. this one is from 2018.

if you're using a recent version of jamovi, then it should honour missing values from .sav files. as can be seen here, the appropriate values are flagged as missing:
cheers

Ok thanks so much and it worked with the most recent version. FYI, the open tab for .sav file works (with the labels and missing values added) but not the import tab. Anyway, very excited to be teaching JAMOVI (instead of SPSS) to undergrad students this fall!
