SAS on Demand on Mac

Great point re: the cloud!

So that was the easiest method I had presumed, however, when I try to drag the file for uploading I receive a message that only sas files are uploaded in this manner.

Do you know how to save my excel file as a sas file?

That's not correct so either you did something wrong or the system is wrong somehow. Please show some screenshots of what you're doing. 

You should just be clicking upload, and then selecting the file. Once the file has been uploaded, you'll then have to  'import' the data using a task or code to create a SAS data set. 

Are you following one of the online courses? They have their own set up instructions as well.

 I appreciate your time and will find a course.

Yeah, you're trying to UPLOAD not IMPORT the data - two different definitions here. 

Look at the image you posted and the top right hand corner. See the up/down arrows there? Use that to upload your files, then apply the import task to the file you upload.

[Reeza]

You may want to click or expand your VTEproject folder and then click the up arrow to upload the file to the folder.

I have made progress. I can click on the "choose file" to upload, I can click the file from my Desktop list (not captured) and then SAS tells me in a pop up "no file selected" when I click "upload" in the pic.

Show those screenshots. It works for me in SAS On Demand, if you continue to have issues beyond this you may want to contact SAS tech support or follow one of the FREE courses video instructions.

Given this other post its possible there was/is an issue but I'm not seeing any indication of that at the moment.

Reeza, somehow switching from Safari to Firefox made it work!

Thanks so much for all of your help!

Reeza, I GOT IT!!!
I was using Safari and switched to Firefox.

Thank you so much for your suggestions
