I export SPSS file to Excel. When I open this file in Excel I have warning:
FILE ERROR: DATA MAY HAVE BEEN LOST. What does this mean ?

I guess it means what it says.

Which version of Excel?

How does the data get to Excel?
- does SPSS open Excel for you and put the data in a worksheet
- or does it generate a file which you then open in Excel
- if so, hat is the format of the exported file: CSV, XLS or some other
format?
- or some other method?

Do you get to see the data in Excel?
- if so, does the data appear to be complete and correctly arranged
- If not, can you describe how it looks and how that differs from what you
expected?
