How to do it in SAS
I’ve become a SAS fan since SAS is the #1 for Business Intelligence(BI) and this is the Era of Information.
I don’t have to tell you how useful the software or systems like SAS are. You may just Google it for your own answer.
Here on this site, we would like to open a new section for SAS programming to share useful SAS resouces with my SAS buddies.
The SAS tips will include very basic ones as well as advanced SAS macro code snippets. If you found some use online SAS resources, please share with us.
We set this up here for our own reference and hope that it will useful for you too.
