Export Data Frame from R to SPSS sav File (Example Code)
In this tutorial you’ll learn how to write a data frame to an SPSS .sav file in the R programming language.
Example Data
data(iris) # Loading iris data set in R head(iris) # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa |

Example: Writing Iris Data Set as SPSS .sav File
install.packages("haven") # Install haven package library("haven") # Load haven |
install.packages("haven") # Install haven package library("haven") # Load haven
write_sav(iris, "iris.sav") # Using write_sav function |
write_sav(iris, "iris.sav") # Using write_sav function
