How to paste data in table form in this sas community?

Dear all, I want to sometimes paste sample data in table format rather than attach excel documents when I post questions? Anyone could tell me how? Thanks a lot

Use the {i} button above and post your sample data in the form of a data step such as

data MyData;
input ID$ var1 var2;
datalines;
1 1 2
2 3 4
3 5 6
4 7 8
5 9 1
;

Also check out the DATA to DATA Step Macro by SASJedi, if you have some data set that you want to present as a data step 🙂

It is NOT a "button". Inside the message window that I am currently typing into at the top is a row of things that start with

B I U and so forth. The {I} is one of the things on that row.

@ballardw I could not find the row of things that start with B I U and so forth. I don't know why. I attached a picture of the message window pdf format in the attachment. Is my message window the same as yours? Thanks

Which browser are you using? I suspect a browser setting or similar. See my screen shot:

@ballardw Thank you so much for your help! I tried google, firefox and ie, but still appears the same as the picture I attached in the pdf document last time. Maybe I need to change settings, but I don't know where to change.Thank you so much!

Try opening a ticket with SAS support so they can work with you on why the editor features are not working on your machine.

Can you post your operating system version and browser version?

Hi @owenwqp1, I see that you're in China. We do have other users in China, but it might be that some of the features are getting blocked by your ISP. Can you open your browser console (usually F12 to view) and report the errors you see in the browser console log? I'm guessing that there will be a few. This will allow us to see which scripts aren't being loaded, and thus crippling some features of the site for you.

@ChrisHemedinger Hi ChrisHemedinger, I have a look of the console log of my Chrome browser. There are 9 errors and 2 warnings.I attached two txt doc of the errors and warnings.One is the errors and warnings I copied one by one from the window,which I consider more readable. The other one is the directly saved log. Thank you so much for your help! Best regards!

Hi @owenwqp1, it looks like there are some of the site resources that aren't able to load from your connection. Some things to try:

- In Chrome, use SHIFT+F5 to refresh the page -- which should flush any cached content.

- If possible, try to connect from another network location. For example, work vs. home. It would be good to know if what you're seeing is due to a proxy/firewall blocking something.

From here, it's difficult to determine what's causing the problem you're experiencing. We do have other contributors from China so I don't think this a universal issue from there.
