3896 Learners

Advance SAS (Statistical Analysis System) training enables you to explore the depth and width of SAS knowledge. The training takes you to the higher level of data analysis helping enterprises in taking advantage of business intelligence. This business analyst course is divided into three sections, namely

  • SAS SQL 1: Essentials
  • SAS Macro Language 2: Essentials
  • SAS Programming 3: Advanced Techniques and Efficiencies

The SAS SQL 1: essential section will deliver skills in accessing data using SQL. The participant will learn how to generate detailed and summary reports from a single table or multiple tables. Using SQL procedure, you will also learn how to construct sub-queries and ways to access dictionary tables.

The SAS Macro Language 2: Essentials section focuses on macro processing. By using SAS macro language, the trainees will work on user-defined and automatic macro variables, automate programs, use macro functions, create data driven programs, and use system options for debugging.

The SAS Programming 3: Advanced Techniques and Efficiencies section provides hands-on experience on advance data look-up techniques such as arrays, hash objects, indexes, and formats. The attendees use DATA steps to develop reusable SAS programs to reduce programming time.

By the end of the training, you’ll proficient in the following skills:

  • Write SAS SQL code
  • Use SAS macro language facility
  • Use DATA step programming statements and SQL interfaces
  • Use efficiency techniques to control I/O processing and memory.
Target audience
  • Research scientists
  • SAS professionals
  • Professionals involved in statistical data collection and analysis
Prerequisites

The professionals with experience in SAS programming and basic understanding of SQL can undergo this training.
