In SPSS, we usually work from 3 windows. These are: the data editor window, the output viewer window and the syntax editor window. The first main window is the data editor. This is the only window that's always open when we run SPSS. Although it's called “data editor”, we use it only for inspecting our data.

Right, let's now download and open bank.sav. We'll use it for walking you through the main parts of the data editor.

SPSS Data View & Variable View
An SPSS data file always has two tabs in the left bottom corner: Data View is where we inspect our actual data and; Variable View is where we see additional information about our data.

You can switch between Data View and Variable View by: clicking the tabs in the left bottom corner; using the Ctrl + t shortkey; double-clicking a variable name in Data View; double-clicking an outline number in Variable View.

Let's first take a close look at the main parts of the Data View tab. We'll then proceed with variable view.
