Many of the SPR data files are provided in Excel, a popular spreadsheet program from Microsoft. School districts and other institutional users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of Excel. Microsoft provides a free Excel viewer program that allows users without the full Excel program to open and view Excel spreadsheet files.
