Umm. You've got a couple of different things going on there. Do you want to open an Excel file (.xls, xlst) or XML (.xml). If you want to open an excel file (spreadsheet), the easiest way is probably to export it from Excel to a comma separated values file (.csv) which pspp and psppire can both read. I have also been known to use R (R-CRAN) to import data directly from excel files and export them as .sav file. The first way is probably what you are looking for. Once you export your data from Excel or OpenOffice.org as a .csv file, you can import into PSPP really easily. See: File --> Import Delimited Text Data If you are trying to import a .xml file, I can't help you. I don't do a lot of web stuff and I'm pretty ignorant about XML files, but I can tell you that you are going to need to translate from XML into something like .csv. Without seeing the original data structure, I have no idea how hard that might be to do. I hope this helped.
