Format Details
SAV
SAV is the binary data file format native to IBM SPSS Statistics, one of the most widely used statistical analysis packages in social science, healthcare, and market research. It stores datasets together with complete variable metadata including names, labels, value labels, missing value codes, and measurement scales. SAV files are essential for sharing reproducible SPSS analyses and are also readable by R, Python, and SAS through compatibility libraries.
XLSX
XLSX is the default spreadsheet format for Microsoft Excel since Office 2007, built on the Open XML standard and standardized by ISO. It stores worksheets, formulas, charts, pivot tables, and formatting in a compressed ZIP archive of XML files, making it more compact and corruption-resistant than the older XLS format. XLSX is supported by Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, Apple Numbers, and virtually every modern data tool.
