can't upload dataset

Hi,

 

I'm having issues uploading my dataset to PowerBI.

 

My raw data is currently in SPSS (which I don't think I can upload - unless anyone else knows otherwise?) but I have output it into a CSV file which also won't upload.

 

Can someone provide me with an example of the format I need to have my data in to be able to upload it? My understanding is that it needs to be in simple excel tables, which a SPSS output may not be.

 

Thanks,

 

Becky

    Since we cannot get data from SPSS directly in Power BI Desktop, you can output the data into a CSV file or .XLSX file and then import to PBI Desktop. For the format, you can take a look at this document which should be helpful.
