Using JMP - SAS

Chapter 3 Import Your Data 85
Import Data from R
Export Options
The available export options are as follows:
Ignore ‘excluded’ row state (export all rows) Select this option to export all rows in the data table.
Deselect this option to export only those rows that are not excluded. This option is on by default.
Preserve SAS variable names This option is useful for data tables that were imported originally from
SAS. When importing a SAS data set, the original SAS variable name is saved in a column property for
each column. Select this option to use the SAS variable name for each column when exporting to SAS.
Deselect this option to export the JMP variable names. This option is off by default.
Preserve SAS formats This option is useful for data tables that were imported originally from SAS.
When importing a SAS data set, the original SAS format and informat is saved in a column property for
each column. Select this option to use the SAS format and informat for each column when exporting to
SAS. Deselect this option to export the JMP formats instead. This option is on by default.
Show Libraries in the Export Data to SAS Window
If your libraries do not appear in the Export Data to SAS window, define the library in one of the following
ways:
• Using JSL, submit code to the SAS server. The code defines a library using a libref command.
• Define an autoexec.sas file that runs a snippet of SAS code every time SAS is invoked. This creates the
same librefs every time you connect to SAS. For details about autoexec.sas files, see the SAS
documentation.
Libraries that are defined in metadata (such as libraries defined in the SAS Management Console under the
Data Library Manager) cannot be accessed from the Export Data to SAS window.
Import Data from R
JMP provides a scripting interface to R. See the Scripting Guide for details.
Import Data Using the Excel Add-In
The add-in for Excel provides new capabilities to JMP and Excel users on Windows:
• Transfer selected cells in Excel to JMP data tables. See “Transfer Excel Data to a JMP Data Table” on
page 86.
• Use the JMP Profiler with calculation models in Excel workbooks. The profiler tool is designed to bring
the power of the JMP profiler to models residing in Excel spreadsheets. You do not have to recreate your
Excel models in JMP, verify that they are correct, and maintain the model in both JMP and Excel. For
more information, see the chapter on Profiling in Modeling and Multivariate Methods.
