Can we import files from Sharepoint in SAS instead of local PC only?

[@SASUsers]

We are looking into this for you.

[@SASUsers]

For an overview of how SAS can work with Office 365, including OneDrive and SharePoint, please refer to this blog article 2.sas.com/6056ox4Ip for the general overview of how it works. However, if you need specific help working with any other version of SharePoint, or Office, on your site's configuration of SAS, your best resource on this topic would be to open a case with SAS Technical Support: 2.sas.com/6057ox4IV

I'm doing some self study on SAS studio following the SAS free learning courses. Thank you for the free learning courses. I would like to know if there is anyway to some hands on experience on the SAS enterprise guide?

[@SASUsers]

Thank you for your feedback and question, Yu! We're happy you're able to take advantage of our free resources to learn SAS! As you may know, our free learning versions of SAS use SAS Studio as their interface; we don't have a free learning version that uses SAS Enterprise Guide. The programming language is the same for either interface, so learning with SAS Studio will give you the experience you need to become a SAS programmer! These entries from our SAS Studio Help Center may be helpful too: How does the performance of SAS Studio compare with other SAS interfaces? 2.sas.com/6055H3F7W What are the differences between SAS Studio and SAS Enterprise Guide? 2.sas.com/6056H3F7o Thanks again, and we wish you much SAS success!

[@baojuwang9704]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Is that possible if I want to install SAS Enterprise Guide on Mac?

[@chrishemedinger1382]

SAS Enterprise Guide is available on Windows only. SAS Studio can be accessed from the browser on a Mac, and VS Code with the SAS extension can also be used there.

How to work/ program on already exists sas dataset , what should I type in set statement?

[@SASUsers]

Rohit, thank you for your inquiry! We are checking on this for you!

[@SASUsers]

Hi Rohit, There is a good example of a SET statement in this video starting at time stamp 24:37. We cannot post code or screenshots in this feedback area. However, when the instructor opens the program file 2.sas.com/6058zWvt8, you will see that the posted program is using a SET statement and reading 2.sas.com/6059zWvtD into the program. We cover the use of the LIBNAME statement, the SET statement and how to write a DATA step program in our Programming 1 free e-learning class. You'll find a description of that class here: 2.sas.com/6050zWvtE . Using a SET statement is very straightforward. Just remember to issue a LIBNAME statement to point to the SAS library if you are not using one of the SASHELP datasets.

Hello there. I have a MacBook Air with M1 chip. Is there anyway I can run SAS enterprise guide on my machine?

[@SASUsers]

Hi, there! Please see this link for the system requirements: 2.sas.com/6053yQBpS

Why is the syntax highlighting broken and why can't I do loops without being embedded within a macro?

[@SASUsers]

Thanks for your inquiry Sam! We will look into this for you!

[@SASUsers]

Sam, If you are using Enterprise Guide 8.1 and the syntax highlighting does not work for you, then you need to open a track with Tech Support for that issue and how to resolve it. When we test Enterprise Guide 8.1 the syntax highlighting works as shown in the video. Your second question about why you "can't do loops without being embedded within a macro" is the type of usage question that requires more in-depth help than we can provide in the KZbin comment area. We recommend opening a track with Tech Support on this issue. Tech Support can look at ALL your code and make recommendations about your problem. To open a track with Tech Support, please fill out this form: 2.sas.com/60581qmlu

[@Corpsecreate]

@@SASUsers You can see in this video at 2:13 that the syntax highlighting is incorrect. PROC PRINT is not highlighted correctly, same for "BY", "ID", "TITLE", "OPTIONS" etc.

[@SASUsers]

Thank you for clarifying! The LOG that is shown at time stamp 2:13 does not have the same color coding as the Program Editor window. The log is echoing back the code, including the wrapper code that Enterprise Guide added before it generated the results. As you can see, Enterprise Guide put all the code inside a Macro Program definition. Color coding inside a Macro program definition in the SAS log will be different from what you see in the editor window.

[@igorlima5725]

Fantastic tutorial! Thanks!

[@SASUsers]

Great feedback! We are happy to hear you like it!

[@nabeel123ful]

can it treat macro?

[@fatihakilani9107]

THANK YOOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL. SO HELPFUL

[@SASUsers]

Absolutely! We're glad you found it useful!

[@faisalshoeb3241]

Hi Thanks for this wonderful explanation, one help can I get the dataset used for the above presentation or if not the same then a doppelgänger. Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!!!

[@SASUsers]

We do not provide the data from our tutorials. We encourage you to use your own data sets, or you can find more than 200 data sets in the SASHELP library. To access the SASHELP library in SAS, select View > Explorer. In the Explorer window, select Libraries > Sashelp. Note: In SAS Studio, you can access the SASHELP library in the Libraries section of the navigation pane. To see a brief description of any SAS data set in the SASHELP library, as well as output displaying the first five observations in each data set, see SASHELP Data Sets 2.sas.com/6057GA2Z5. For more information on how to access data in SAS, please see How do I access data in SAS? 2.sas.com/6058GA2Zg from the SAS University Edition: Help Center 2.sas.com/6059GA2Z9. We hope this helps, and we wish you much #SASsuccess!

[@TheHiddenPearl]

great! thanks a lot for your video! I am taking classes from a university and they use the SAS studio, not SAS enterprise. What are the difference?

[@SASUsers]

Great question! SAS Studio and SAS Enterprise Guide are two different SAS interfaces. SAS Studio, as you mentioned, is the interface included with both of our free learning versions of SAS: 1) SAS University Edition and 2) SAS OnDemand for Academics: Studio. We have lots of great resources to help you learn how to use SAS Studio, SAS University Edition, and SAS OnDemand for Academics. Our SAS Software KZbin Channel has three "Learn SAS - Training & Support" Playlists 2.sas.com/60571IWgl Our own "Learn & Support" pages, including links to documentation, tutorials, training, books, and our online support communities: SAS University Edition 2.sas.com/60511IWgU SAS OnDemand for Academics 2.sas.com/60541IWgs And as a student, you also get *free* access to over 20 e-Learning courses from SAS Training + SAS Certification Prep Materials through our new SAS Academic Hub 2.sas.com/60551IWgt And here's some more information on the differences between SAS Studio and SAS Enterprise Guide 2.sas.com/60561IWgQ We hope that helps, and we wish you much success with your classes, and with SAS!

[@hairuiliu8114]

i hope there is a free trial version of sas enterprise guide provided . it is more efficient playing with the app while watching this video

Good stuff

[@SASUsers]

Thanks for the visit!

[@kosterix123]

Talking out loud what you type and click does not explain anything. Suggest you take some didactic courses. 3:45 a little better, but any useful info on how to interpret the symbols again missing. Downvoted. Good luck in your life.
