Dear all,
I would like to import a SAS file (.xpt file) in Phoenix for NCA analysis by automatically importing the units. I know that this is possible with other file formats (.xls or.csv) but I don’t know if with an.xpt file it is possible to import the SAS labels directly to avoid manually entering them and thus remove a potential source of error.
Thanks for your help,
If you have a SAS transport file in CDISC format (and a CDISC navigator license) you can do this via
Custom Import>CDISC SDTM Data or
Custom Import>CDISC SEND Data
Otherwise, I don’t know off hand of an easy way to import units directly into the Phoenix header labels from a SAS transport file. However, you can handle the units after importing the file in several ways. For example:
If you have a column that has the units, use a data wizard, transformation. You can assign the column that contains the units to a variable. This does create a bunch of new columns
Use data wizard, properties, and manually assign the units.
I’d like to expand on Ana’s suggestion, if your data has a separate column for the units then you can use Column properties to set the units for eg. PCORRES from the CONTENTS of another column e.g. PCORRESU, see attached image. Note I have also addded a filter afterwards to remove the now redundant PCORRESU.
What is the error message? To be honest the best thing to do would be to email support@certara.com with the PHXPROJ file, error log and error message and versions of Phx and SAS being used,
