If you import a file into SAS Enterprise Guide using tasks such as Import Data, Import SPSS, Import JMP, or Import Stata, then you might encounter a problem when you try to use the Logic Regression task. Specifically, SAS Enterprise Guide stops responding after you add a variable to the dependent variable task role.

As a workaround when importing an external file such Microsoft Excel, follow these steps:

1. Open a new process flow in SAS Enterprise Guide. In the new process flow, right-click anywhere in the white space and select Add existing item.
2. Navigate to the location of the Excel file on your PC, and select Open. This should add the Excel file as an icon in the process flow.
3. Right-click the Excel file and select Import Data. This opens Import Data task so that you can import the file in order to create the data set.
4. Now, when you use the Logistic Regression task, it will not stop responding.
