Hello!

I am currently helping out on a research project that previous used SPSS to do statistical analysis, the data files came in the format of .dat.
I couldn't open it with my STATA, and the similar posts that tackled a similar question are quite complicated for me to follow, as I am a total beginner in using STATA.

So, is there a general way of converting the data files in a .dat format into something that can be opened by STATA?

Thank you so much!
