(Note: you can upload multiple files at one time if you choose.) Figure 4: The File Drug_Study.xlsx in Now in the SAS Studio Folder Select your file, click UPLOAD, and the file on your local hard drive (Drug_Study.xlsx) will appear in the SAS Studio folder (Figure 4). Once you click the UPLOAD icon, you are given the option to select a file. Figure 2: Upload the File to a Folder in SAS Studio This tab is shown in Figure 2 (with the UPLOAD icon circled). The next step is to select a folder in the Server Files and Folder tab in SAS Studio and upload the file. It is a good idea to choose variable names that are compatible with SAS V7. Figure 1: Excel SpreadsheetĪll the variable names should be self-explanatory except for SBP (systolic blood pressure) and DBP (diastolic blood pressure). This first figure shows a worksheet (Drug_Study.xlsx) with information on four individuals. Let me show you step-by-step how easy it is to upload an Excel workbook from your local computer to SAS Studio using ODA. You will have to wait for an email from SAS with an approval, but once you have access, it is a delight to use. If you already have a SAS profile, skip that portion of the instructions. Part of the registration process is to create a SAS profile. To gain access to ODA, you need to register with SAS. There is also a 5-gigabyte limit for data files, but that is certainly not a problem for learning how to use SAS. It is not to be used for commercial purposes.
ODA was developed so that people can use it to learn how to program and run tasks using SAS. Also, reading data from your real computer is quite simple. The great news about SAS OnDemand for Academics is that you don’t have to download anything! You access SAS on a cloud platform.
Users of SAS University Edition had to download software to create a virtual computer on their local computer, then download the SAS software, and finally, set up a way to read and write files from their “real” computer to their “virtual computer.” This caused many people massive headaches (including me). I thought I would share some of my thoughts, having just finished two books using ODA ( Getting Started with SAS Programming: Using SAS Studio in the Cloud and A Gentle Introduction to Statistics Using SAS Studio in the Cloud). Thousands of SAS users are migrating from SAS University Edition to SAS OnDemand for Academics (ODA).
