When I run the .xlsx file exported from SPSS, save it, and then run it again, the format changes.

When I first check the Excel file exported from SPSS as .xlsx, the table format specified in SPSS is applied well.

But, when I open the Excel file again after edit or save it, a problem occurs where all table formatting properties specified in SPSS (e.g. cell borders, font type, background color) are broken.

And, every time I save a file in SPSS, the name of the Excel custom style was changed and created newly, even if I export the table in the same format every time.

(The numbers of the custom style name change in the form of *style0000000000000, etc.)

Also, if I check the custom style applied to each cell of the Excel file, there is a difference in the format and style applied on each cell of the Excel sheet.

 

Is there a way to maintain the initial format of SPSS in Excel?

Or, how can I improve compatibility between SPSS and Excel?

 

I can give you some example images.

1) This is what the pivot table looks like in SPSS Viewer.

2) When an Excel file is first run, it maintains the same style format properties as SPSS.

3) After editing such as deleting unnecessary columns, save and re-run the Excel file, the format was changed. (* The shape changes differently every time.)
