The course builds on the concepts that are presented in the Getting Started with SAS Programming course and is not recommended for beginning SAS software users.In this course you learn how to 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, and restructure tables. This course addresses Base SAS software.Before attending this course, you should be able to write DATA step code to access data, subset rows and columns, compute new columns, and process data conditionally.

very professional, with good examples, the only thing it didn't have was MACROS. Other than that it's a perfect course

Great class! Definitely would recommend if one does not know how to manipulate data in SAS

There is a lot to unpack in this course, and at times I fear my memory might let it slip. It would be nice, if there were exercises, which combined skills learned in previous weeks.

great, good info..

This course was clearly structured and with the help of the exercises I gained a solid understanding of the programming language. I'm sure I'll be able to solve some of the work challenges more elegantly next time. Thank you very much!

Amazing. But the Functions module is too lengthy. It'd be better if that module can be split into two.

Very comprehensive course that is broken down into simple steps which are easy to follow. Admins provide helpful answers to questions.

By Glenn W on 5-Jul-19

A very useful course if you're interested in SAS programming. The platform is also easy to use, it's not necessary to have SAS installed on your laptop in order to take this class.

Amazing extended introduction to the SAS analytic tool kit. Well designed courses with segmented and modulated videos and hands-on practice. Completing all the practice exercise will give you the edge to fully familiarize with the materials covered!
