This course is for users who do not have SAS programming experience but need to access, manage, and summarize data from different sources, and present results in reports and graphs. This course focuses on using the menu-driven tasks in SAS Enterprise Guide, the point-and-click interface to SAS, to create queries and reports. It does not address writing SAS code or statistical concepts. This course is the SAS Enterprise Guide 1 course complemented with topics from the SAS Enterprise Guide 2 course, like grouping, filtering, using SAS Functions. It also serves as a prerequisite for the SAS Enterprise Guide: ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression course, which teaches statistical concepts using SAS Enterprise Guide.

Learn how to

• access and manipulate local and remote data of various types
• create queries that filter and summarize data, compute new columns, and join multiple tables
• create frequency and tabular reports
• create interactive graphs
• automate output results
