SAS Studio in SAS OnDemand for Academics is a web-based learning software. Since it's web-based, the default language setting is dependent on the browser locale or the language setting of your browser.   The tagged solution in this community post: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Software-for-Learning/About-language-setting-of-SAS-studio/m-p/139617 shows how to effectively change the settings in Chrome. To be safe, make sure that English will be the top language on the list in case you have more than one added, which is also aligned with this support note: https://support.sas.com/kb/63/239.html. Here are the steps for easy reference: Paste this URL in your Chrome address bar: chrome://settings/languages to go to the language setting Check that English (United States) is added and on top of your language list. If needed use the button "Display Google Chrome in this language". Restart your browser and then launch SAS Studio from SAS OnDemand for Academics. Ideally, restarting the browser after changing the settings would take effect immediately, but just in case it doesn’t, clearing the browser cache and launching a new session may help.

UPDATE: Since the release of SAS Viya for Learners 4, the View Measure Details function has been retired but replaced with SAS Information Catalog. You can refer to this community post: SAS Information Catalog Replaces View Measure Details (and More!) in SAS Viya for Learners 4    View Measure Details is a data task in SAS Visual Analytics that will give users basic statistics about all measures. This can be accessed by clicking on the Data pane on the left, Actions, and then View Measure Details.   Workaround available when output won’t load   If you open a data set in SAS VA and go straight to accessing the task "View measure details," you will see a “loading data” message but the data never actually loads. This is a known issue in the environment, but a workaround is available. You can drag any object in the main report canvas and then go back to click on "View Measure Details" and this will give the output properly.   ... View more

It is not possible to retrieve a previous version of a report, but there is a workaround available. To get around this issue, you would need to take an offline backup of the report, so that you have a working copy to go back to. If you do not want to have an offline backup, you can save the report with a different name to have another copy of it available. Offline backups can also be used to restore during a later course on SAS Viya for Learners. To save an offline backup: 1. Open the report in the browser 2. Press Ctrl + Alt + b 3. A window will open up and you will see XML under the tab called "BIRD" 4. Copy the contents (all XML code) from the window to a text editor like notepad 5. Save this file - this is your offline backup To Restore (on the same tenant): 1. Open Visual Analytics ("Explore and Browse") 2. Create a new report so that the canvas is visible 3. Press Ctrl + Alt + b 4. Delete the entire XML program under the BIRD tab 5. Open the text file you created when backing up 6. Copy the contents of the text file to the BIRD tab 7. Press Load Your report should now be visible. There is a chance that you can get data source errors - so you will need to search for the tenant name (eg. v4e011) in the text file and replace it with the current tenant you are logged into (e.g. v4e018). Once done, please redo the copy-paste steps above and the report will be visible. ... View more
