The SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office enables you to harness
the power of SAS analytics from Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
PowerPoint, and Microsoft Outlook. You can use the SAS Add-In for
Microsoft Office for the following tasks:
-
dynamically run stored processes
and SAS tasks.
-
analyze SAS or Excel data by using
SAS tasks.
-
embed the results of your stored
processes and SAS tasks in your documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
-
access and view SAS data sources
or any data source that is available from your SAS server. There is
no size limit on the SAS data sources that you can open.
-
send results from one Microsoft
Office application to another. For example, you can send an analysis
result that was created in Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Word or PowerPoint;
and you can send reports from Microsoft Outlook to Excel, Word, or
PowerPoint. When sending results, you can specify whether the results
can be refreshed or whether they should be static.
-
refresh SAS results to reflect
changes that were made to a data source that is saved on a server
or changes that were made to the SAS task or stored process.
-
share results by sending e-mail,
scheduling meetings, or assigning tasks in Microsoft Outlook.
