If your survey is going to include any questions that might have large numeric values as answers, be cautious when downloading the data directly to an SPSS file. Qualtrics will occasionally have issues with large values that include commas (for example, 70,000 will be reduced to 70). Be sure to check these variables against data exported into a CSV file (which handles the values more appropriately).
Qualtrics allows you to download the .sps (SPSS syntax file) that indicates how variables and their values were labeled in SPSS. When you download an SPSS data file from Qualtrics, it labels the response options exactly as they appear in the survey. You can use the SPSS syntax file to change these variable and value labels and apply them to the SPSS data file each time it is downloaded. This will, however, require you to have limited knowledge in working with the SPSS syntax command prompt.
