spss is an excellent data analysis software. Recently, some friends have asked me about the differences between spss and excel. The following is an introduction to the differences between spss and excel. Friends who need it can learn more. Got it.

SPSS is a professional statistical software, and its routine is completely different from EXCEL. This is specifically reflected in the following places:

There are many professional indicators, and there are few professional indicators in EXCEL. Of course, EXCEL also has some professional statistical functions, such as STDEV standard deviation function, which are everywhere in SPSS.

With the specialization of analysis methods, there are many statistical models. However, people who have used SPSS often say that SPSS has too many statistical models, which often makes me dizzy.

Drawing is much more professional than EXCEL. The drawing itself has the flavor of analysis. For beginners, it is often through drawing that they experience the difference and power of SPSS.

To explain SPSS clearly, you have to write a book. Here is a simple example to illustrate the difference between professional statistical software and EXCEL:

There is the following EXCEL data

We want to analyze some aspects of the book purchase price, such as age, gender, education, recommendation channels, etc. We would like to graphically illustrate the impact on the book purchase price.

Use SPSS to read EXCEL data

​​Draw a graph using a scatter plot

Choose a simple scatter plot

SPSS’s scatter plot can achieve five-dimensional plots, that is, five dimensions, while EXCEL can only achieve three-dimensional plots at most, which is the bubble chart.

Let’s see the effect

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ out of five dimensions: age, book price, gender, education, recommendations? What is drawn here is the famous panel chart, plus a setting mark. If you look carefully at this picture, you can see that the distribution of book purchase prices is basically clear.

The above is the difference between spss and excel that the editor has explained to you. Everyone should understand it.
