How can I export my data to SPSS?

Select Data Export in the applications menu of your REDCap project.
Select which fields/forms you wish to export and click Submit.
Next to the SPSS option there are three files.
Download ALL THREE to your desktop.
From your desktop, double-click the “spss_pathway_mapper.bat”.
Follow the instructions and double-click (only once) on the downloaded “.sps” file on your desktop.
The file should look like: “EXPORT_PROJECT_USER_DATE.SPS”.
Wait for SPSS to open. A syntax file will appear in SPSS.
At the top menu, click on run and then “run all”.
After the syntax has completed running, close the syntax file and a new (untitled) dataset will appear with the data you downloaded.
Save it.
