Import Triple-S Survey Data

Triple-S (SSS) is a specification for survey data. The survey data is stored in a pair of files: .xml or .sss, and a .csv, .dat, or .asc file. The .xml or .sss file defines the variables and describes the survey. The accompanying .csv, .dat, or .asc file contains the data gathered from each respondent.

Variable labels are converted to column headings by default. To convert variable names to column headings, deselect Use Triple-S Labels as Headings in the JMP General preferences.

1.

2.

Select File > Open.

3.

On Windows, select Triple-S Survey Files from the File name list.

4.

Select the SPSS file.

5.
