Another option is to import the SAS file into Excel: >From >https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27738034/how-to-open-sas-files-using-excel: ----------------------- <https://stackoverflow.com/posts/37870325/timeline>
I help develop the Colectica for Excel addin, which opens SAS data files in Excel. No SAS software or ODBC configurations are required. The addin directly reads the SAS file and then inserts the data and metadata into your worksheet. - Imports SAS .sas7bdat data and column names - Imports SAS .sas7bcat formats and value labels when avalaible The Excel addin is downloadable from http://www.colectica.com/software/colecticaforexcel Documentation is available in the user manual <http://docs.colectica.com/excel/import-data/import-sas-excel/>. ------------------------- best wishes, Peter On Tuesday, November 17, 2020 at 5:05:54 PM UTC+10:30 [email protected] wrote: > Hi Mahesh, > > While it is correct that the data are formatted for SAS, they are in an > ASCII format, so they are quite readable.
