I have a log y quarterly series and I find it has seasonality, so I go to proc---seasonal adjustment and choose "moving average method"---"ratio...." and get result"
Scaling Factors:

1 0.995321
2 0.999527
3 1.002346
4 1.002824

But I go back to that log y data "view"---"spreadsheet" and check the data one by one for several years, I didn't see any changes in data there? Why? where is the adjusted data?

The adjusted data is in a new series, as shown in the dialog.
