I need syntax in SPSS or excel to export data without #null values.
How can this be achieved?
I typically save as CSV and then in excel save as .xlsx. All missing values are then allocated a space which I accept as representing sysmis values.
As far as I know, starting with SPSS 20, IBM decided that #NULL!is the Excel output of empty cells of numeric variables. You'll need to clean that manually in Excel (via Replace - CTRL-H), or write an Excel macro speed this up;
Alternatively, you could use an older version of SPSS, although I don't think they are commercially available anymore;
Or you could export as CSV and then import the CSV into Excel.

I tried using openpyxl library to read and write data in excel. But later did I know that I need to manipulate an excel binary worksheet. openpyxl doesn't support xlsb.
Is there any other libraries that I can use to be able to read and write data in xlsb without changing any format of the excel?
The requirement is, as much as possible:
Append data at the last row (Don't rewrite the whole data as it will affect the runtime of script).
Don't convert the xlsb
Thank you in advance.
I used xlwings library. Image will be kept and I can work with .xlsb.
The problem:
For example, my CSV data is like so: ['=B3/B5'] which displays 0.1 in my Excel sheet but I need it to produce 10%.
I need to be able to fix this from the CSV source data because I'm exporting a CSV file from my website so that means no excel formatting to percentages as I need it to work out of the box for users.
Preferably the solution should be able to support Excel 2007. Google Sheets has a =to_percent(B3/B5) function which works well but I need the equivalent for Excel 2007.
I had a look at this answer: https://superuser.com/questions/318420/formatting-a-comma-delimited-csv-to-force-excel-to-interpret-value-as-a-string
But doesn't seem to directly address the problem.
You could use =B3/B5*100&"%"
Note that this will not be saved as a number (ex. 22.1%) rather as text, because you can't use number formats in a CSV file.
I have a spreadsheet that I need to convert into code. Is there a way to export the spreadsheet that keeps the formulas intact?
When I save it as any other format it converts the formulas to their values. For example, if I had =(4/2), the CSV would just put 2. Whereas I need the original formula. I have tried accessing the spreadsheet using PHP Excel also but it cannot load the spreadsheet due to size.
Simplest way is to do CTRL+` and then copy+paste to Notepad or wherever you want
How can i use the same macro in both the XLS and XLSX formats?
Is there anyhthing to be added in the XLSX format. i have written a small macro in XLSX (it has last column XFD) i want to use it in the XLS (it has last column as IV) .Is there anything to be changed?
This question is not about converting the file formats.
XLSX provides a broader set of formulas and also VBA functionality. Additionally, XLSX expands the row/column restriction that exists before Excel 2007 (from 256 columns to 16,384).
If your macros are written using up to column 16,384 (XFD), you're going to have to perform the calculations in chunks to make them fit within the 256 column (IV) restriction of Excel 2003. If you're using variables and not writing everything to a sheet, then there should be no problem (barring running out of memory).
Without more detail, it's difficult to tell whether you're using a set of functions from Excel 2007 that may not be supported in Excel 2003.
Which format was it written first? normally it should work in both formats of excel. As you are referring to last cell of both formats, it seems to have a code level issue than a version lavel.
At the time of exporting to excel using ASP. After converting a column in text format single quote is visible in the excel file. how to hide this automatically ?
You might be helped by setting the style of your cell to mso-number-format:"\#", but I'd have to see your code to know the exact problem.
I think you might find Styling Excel cells with mso-number-format and Generate Excel files in ASP Classic useful.
When you export to excel, you could juste make a table with cell, and put your value into double quote. Excel will read it correctly
Here's the library I use, to export data to Excel 2007 (.xlsx) files.
It lets you export any DataSet, DataTable or List<> directly into an Excel 2007 file, using one line of code.
It's completely free, and you can download the source code (and see how to use it) here:
