Thank you!!
1- The ODF file is an ODT writer, and statisticians almost always use
spreadsheets to work the results and I want to be able to export the
result to an ODF .ODS file.

2- I want to be able to generate the result similar to how they do jasp
or jamovi.

3- add a method
of confirmatory factor analysis in the factorial menu
