What is SPV file?
The SPV – .SPV – file extension is an output document generated by the IBM SPSS Statistics software. The ‘SPV’ stands for ‘SPSS Data Viewer’ and the file is used to store data outputs from statistical studies, written in the software, that are carried out on the IBM SPSS platform. An .SPV file can be opened using SPSS (spss or spss 16) versions 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 as well as higher. The data stored in this format is often referred to as an SPSS file. Data Content The .

What is CSV file?
The .CSV file extension is a plain-text Comma Separated Values file. It is used to store tabular data in which the rows represent database records and the columns represent fields within each record. This format is popular when working with spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel, but can also be read and accessed by a variety of other programs, such as Apache OpenOffice Calc. CSV files have become a de-facto standard for sharing structured information between different programs. [ ⏩ ] CSV file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from SPV to CSV?
To successfully convert the SPV file to CSV, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SPV). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CSV (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than CSV).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SPV to CSV. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting SPV files to CSV files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension CSV, while before this step we had the SPV file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CSV file, or not.
