For the purposes of this explanation, we shall assume that a case is an individual. Therefore, when entering data into SPSS Statistics you must put one person's data on one row only. If you find that you have an individual's data on more than one row then you have made a mistake. Equally, if a row contains more than one person's data, you have also made a mistake.

Basically there are two way of data entry in SPSS.

1. First we have to export data from Excel or any other place

2. Second we can directly we can enter data by opening the first page of SPSS which will give two option the column and row. So almost column will represent the variables and row will represent the observation,we do have to enter our data in variables columns,after that you will change the name of first variable to strings.
