SAS Data Quality - Cleanse Software

Overview

SAS Data Quality - Cleanse software enables you to analyze, cleanse, and standardize your data. This enhances the value of your data by reducing duplication and by increasing accuracy and usability. For example, the STATE variable might contain several variations for West Virginia (such as WV, W.V., and W. Virginia). This makes it difficult to construct a query based on the STATE variable that will yield accurate results. You can use SAS Data Quality - Cleanse software's specialized clustering algorithm for state names and abbreviations to group these variations together. Then you can transform the data to conform to a preferred, or standard, form of the state name.
