Convert SAV to EXCEL

Converting SPSS Data Files to Microsoft Excel formats (.xls / .xlsx) would be the most common and obvious conversion type related to exporting .sav files (numerous other file types use the .sav suffix) to any available Microsoft Excel format, usually for reporting purposes.

You can only convert .sav to .xls / .sav to .xlsx and use the SPSS Statistics software. The .sav format seems proprietary and not supported by third-party utilities.

Refer also to the .sav to .xlsx conversion or the .sav to .xls conversion entry. Another alternative method for exporting SPSS data to Excel is to use the Save As option in SPSS to save the data as a .csv file, which can then be opened and manipulated in Excel.
