Quickly create professional-looking reports

What if you could quickly and easily create customized, professional-looking reports and presentations directly from SPSS? Imagine how much that would help you communicate the value in your SPSS data to decision makers.

In the past, to create presentable reports that show your SPSS data in the best light, you had to export the data to another application. This is hard enough, but formatting data can be even more difficult and time consuming.

SPSS Report Writer enables you to quickly create professional-looking, presentation-quality reports from SPSS data using intuitive, word processor-like page layout and formatting features.
