Welcome to the Quick Start tutorial for SAS Enterprise Guide. As you complete the topics in this tutorial, you will learn to work with data, tasks, and results in SAS Enterprise Guide. This tutorial is designed to get you going quickly and to prepare you for more in-depth training on creating reports, querying data, and perfoming statistical analyses.

As you work through this tutorial you'll be creating a report on the nutritional value of candy that you sell in a shop.

This tutorial uses simulations to help you learn how to perform tasks in SAS Enterprise Guide. If you would prefer to take this tutorial using SAS Enterprise Guide with real data, you can simply follow the instructions that are given and perform the tasks in the software rather than in the simulation.

The sample data used in this tutorial may be in a different location on your computer. If SAS Enterprise Guide is installed on your local computer, you can search for candy.sas7bdat to find the location of the sample data. If you are using SAS Enterprise Guide in a client/server configuration, you may need to ask your administrator where the sample data is located.

As you work through the tutorial, you learn to do the following:

create and save projects
add data to a project from the local sample data directory
create a basic report by using a SAS task
change the style and format of task results
export HTML results
run a process flow

First you learn about some of the things that you can do with SAS Enterprise Guide.
