2023-06-22 Thread Ben Pfaff
Hmm, I'm surprised that happens. Asterisks indicate that numbers don't fit in the assigned formats, so changing your data formats (by increasing the width) should help. However, output tables normally extend widths enough that it shouldn't be a problem. That means there might be a bug. If you can

The way open-source works, the only way PSPP will ever become more user-friendly is for users to file bug reports about things they find unpolished. But some problems will only be solved by developers pitching in and writing code. Why not buy a copy of SPSS? Academics can get a copy for about $260

Good morning, Thank you both for your help. This has been insightful. Perhaps PSPP is not the best software for me. I like the idea that it works like SPSS but it doesn’t seem to be at a stage where it is user friendly - unless one has the right operating system, etc. For the time being, I’ll

PSPP tries to preserve the original "names". However a text file has neither "variables" nor "names" so it has to guess the users' intention or you have to tell it. Can you show us the command you are using to import? If you are using the GUI, you can use the Paste button to see the commands. J
