About SAS7BDAT
SAS Institute's software has kept its datasets in .sas7bdat files since SAS 7. Banks, insurers, governments and drug makers hold a lot of their data in them.
The format was never published. A .sas7bdat holds pages of rows, often compressed, with a label and a format for each column, like DATE9. for dates. Value labels live in a catalog file of their own, usually formats.sas7bcat.
Filepeek reads it with ReadStat, compiled to WebAssembly, which learned the format by taking it apart. Dates and times show as dates and times. Open the dataset together with its formats.sas7bcat and the value labels show too.

Questions
How do I open a SAS7BDAT file without SAS?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a SAS7BDAT. Its rows open as a table, each column with its label, with nothing to install.
How do I see the value labels?
Pick or drop the dataset together with its formats.sas7bcat catalog, from the same folder. Filepeek reads the labels from it and shows them in place of the codes.
What is the difference with XPT?
XPT, the SAS transport file, is an open format for moving data between systems, and the one drug trials send their data to the FDA in. SAS7BDAT is the dataset SAS itself works with. Filepeek opens both.
Can I turn it into CSV or Excel?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSON Lines or Parquet, with every row or only the rows you sorted and filtered.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The table opens inside your browser and never leaves your device.
