The first time I exported data to a SPSS file the question labels were all showing on the SPSS file. Subsequent downloads dhow the question number, rather than the question label. How do I change this please?

To change the SPSS "Name" Column in the variable screen, edit that rather than the label. ! Editing the label in Qualtrics will only edit the label in SPSS: ! But, if we're talking "Best Practices", I would encourage using question numbers and using the labels to better identify your questions. It helps you see the order things present in, which helps with your analysis.
