This course is for those who need to learn data manipulation techniques using the SAS DATA step and procedures to access, transform, and summarize data. The course builds on the concepts that are presented in the SAS Programming 1: Essentials course and is not recommended for beginning SAS software users.

• Understand and control DATA step processing.
• Create an accumulating column and process data in groups.
• Manipulate data with functions.
• Convert column type.
• Create custom formats.
• Concatenate and merge tables.
• Process repetitive code.
• Restructure tables.
