Hello @stephanealoo
Why do you think CSV transfer to Excel is “still the best option” for transfer to SPSS?
See XLS > SPSS:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spss-statistics/27.0.0?topic=files-reading-excel
and for CSV there:
“Note: The Import Data function does not support CSV data that includes embedded line breaks in quoted text. A possible workaround is to save the CSV file (that includes quoted embedded line breaks) as an .xls/.xlsx file, and then use the import Excel feature.”
