About this course

The journey

SAS is the standard analytics language in banking, pharma and public research. This course gives you a solid start: reading data from files, transforming it with the DATA step, and summarising it with PROC PRINT, MEANS, FREQ and SORT.

Everything runs in the free SAS OnDemand for Academics environment, and every lesson uses realistic datasets so the skills transfer straight to work.

    Clear and well paced

    Solid basics

    A good foundation. I would have liked a little more on informats and dates, which come up constantly at work.
