I have imported a dataset into SAS Enterprise miner using the file import node.Now how can I explore and view the imported data set within SAS Enterprise miner?
Right click on the Data Sources and click Explore.
At the place where you can see Data Sources, right mouse click on the data set you want to explore. At the drop down menu, select Explore. You will get a sample, though, not the full view

I have a power bi report that connects to another power bi dataset.
I want to import an excel file into the new report's dataset without making any changes to the original dataset.
On this new report (that uses another dataset) the transform query button is grayed out so I'm not sure how to import an excel file. Does power bi support this?
Use the Get data button on the home tab. Should be a simple upload of the excel file. Make sure to use the desktop version. Using the model tab on the far left side you can link variables (many to many, many to one, etc.) (if the datasets are related)
What you`re looking for is a Composite Model. If you want to use it, you first have to enable the following Preview features in Options:
After a restart you can click on Transform data and Power BI will add a local model and allow you to add further data sources like Excel files to it.
I have a PowerBi Report in which i used an excel sheet to load historical data.
This historical data will not be updated and is solely used to merge with other data from SQL.
Everytime I update the new merged query my excel sheet will be updated aswell.
Is there a way to disable that? So that i can delete the excel sheet without losing the data in the PowerBI report?
So far i disabled both the load into refresh option of the historical dataset in PowerQuery but this didnt help.
Thanks in advance
There is a capability of Enable or Disable loading of a dataset into your model in Power Query on the right click menu. Is it what you are looking for ?
I've created a powerbi push dataset using the api. I can build reports based on this but I'm struggling with something very simple.
How do I see my data?
On the web app I can choose analyze in excel but excel gives me an error
Within the powerbi desktop I cant find an option for this either. Does anyone know where to find this? Could it be a permissions issue? If so where do i find the option to turn this on.
Thanks.
When you create a report on a Push dataset, there are no Data and Relationships sections to the left in Power BI Desktop. But you can place a visual (e.g. table), right click it and select "Show Data":
This will show you the underlying data in tabular format in Power BI Desktop, but if you want, you can export it to file and open it in Excel. Just click the ellipsis in the top right corner and select "Export data":
You can also connect Excel directly to your Push dataset in Power BI Service. To do this you will need to install Power BI publisher for Excel and from "Power BI" tab select "Connect to Data":
This seems rather trivial, but in SAS Enterprise Guide, is there a way to simply open a SAS dataset from a SAS library without having a shortcut added automatically to the process flow?
For SAS EG 5.1, you need to do the following:
Right click on data set
Select Explore
Go to "Data Explorer"
Double click on data set that you want to explore
Once it is in the Data Explorer, you don't need to do steps 1-3 again for that dataset.
In EG 7 (I might be able to find and older version if you don't have 7):
Tools -> Options -> Data/Data General
Under "Default Action for Data in Server List and SAS Folders", check "Explore".
From the documentation included, that "opens data sets in the Date Explorer when you double-click then in the Server List and SAS Folders windows. The Data Explorer enables you to view a SAS Data Set without adding the data set to your project."
We have a some ETL processes that read CSV files that are output from SAS programs. I'm in the process of upgrading one of these ETLs and was wondering if I could use SSIS to read directly from the SAS dataset.
Has anybody done this successfully?
See here
"You can use SAS Local Data Provider (can be downloaded separately and comes as part of SAS for Windows installation). "
Recently I've moved data from SAS environment:
In connection manager I choose _Native OLE DB\SAS Local Data Provider 9.3_
Enter file name (`\..\dev` before the table name). Click OK
Drag _OLE DB Source_ into the Data Flow
Right click on _OLE DB Source_ and choose _Show advanced editor_
In the first tab (_Connection Manager_) choose _SAS Connection Manager_ from drop down list you created now
In the Component Properties tab in _OpenRowset_ write the name of the table, click OK
If you have `datetime` type transform it using Derived Transformation Editor
For loading SAS XPT or SAS7BDAT data files without having an instance of SAS to connect to via OBDC we used the following
A third party tool (STATTransfer) to read the XPT file
STATTransfer ODBC driver
Setup the connection in SSIS as an ODBC datasource and load into the database for processing.
There are SAS datasource SSIS extension available http://www.cozyroc.com offer a SAS Data connection, but they where outside our price range
