The SPO file extension stands for the output file produced by IBM SPSS Statistical Software. It is used for storing the analysis results or any other text data generated during a statistical operation. The SPO file is saved in plain text format and as such can be opened and edited with any text editor such as Notepad. The file extension can also be used to indicate a file containing editing action commands created for SPSS statistical packages.
Technical Details
Text-based SPO files are saved in a delimited format which uses tab characters to separate columns or fields. Fields in the file may include values such as frequencies, means, percentages, actual numerical values as well as alpha fields like descriptors and codes. Other .spo files contain commands for setting up printing of tables and customized tables, graphics commands, and titles for tables and figures. The SPO file is sometimes created on a system command console for further editing and manipulation using ASCII or Unicode encoding. Similar file extensions include .sas (SAS Program File), .sav (Saved Data Set File) and .sap (SAS Transport File).

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SPO) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SPO extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SPO file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SPO extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SPO extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SPO file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SPO file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SPO file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SPO file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SPO file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
