Import data from my own disk

JeanTaymans — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 12:27:18 GMT

Hi, I'm a new user via "https://welcome.oda.sas.com/", using SAS Studio.

I would like to import a file from my own disk.
How to proceed ?

Hi and welcome to the communities!

Use the upload functionality of SAS Studio to store your file on the server (does not work with Safari if you're on a Mac; use Chrome instead).

Then right-click on the file, and retrieve the complete path from the properties.

This path must then be used in whatever step you do to read the file.
