Welcome back to the community, @sengkrisna! Could you let us know the issue you are having? Maybe the community should also be able to help you out knowing the same?

Hello @sengkrisna,
You may try with XLS export type (instead of csv).

Do you have any idea how to read the SPSS syntax? Maybe that should be helpful at this stage. Sometimes you may also have to look at how the syntax is structured in accordance with the dataset.

Hello,
You should exclude group names in the export. Or you may need to convert the / to underlines e.g. in the exported files.
Have a look at the SPSS naming rules, please.

There has also been previous discussion in the forum, which you may find with the search function (e.g. “spss labels naming”). See
