Good morning Rachel, I started this course on LinkedIn Learning. The course is titled "SAS® 9.4 Cert Prep: Part 01 SAS Programming Essentials". I downloaded the zip included in the exercise files. If you're looking to recreate my steps exactly, you should download the files directly from LinkedIn. I can't attach all of the setup files, but I'll include a screenshot of the "README". I think the SAS Studio through SAS OnDemand for Academics is great since I can work off a cloud, preventing potential issues from storing files locally or on my employer's cloud. I'm completely new to SAS and only have minimal experience using Python, SQL, JavaScript, so nothing here is intuitive for me. I encountered this issue 3 minutes into the first video, where the instructor is focused on setting up our data and building familiarity with SAS Studio. If the course is meant for beginners, it wouldn't make sense to expect participants to be able to edit or understand any code yet. LinkedIn says over 54,000 people have enrolled and I haven't found any other documentation related to this issue, so I'm well aware I could have botched my data setup. I just don't know how. The directions are simple and straightforward, and everything seemed to load to the cloud properly. I apologize for the delayed response. I have limited time at work for this course. Does anyone have recommendations for beginner level SAS courses if this isn't where I should be starting? Thank you all for your quick responses and willingness to help!
