COURSE SECTIONS

1. DATA PREPARATION will teach you how to import data from multiple sources, create new variables, write SAS functions, and understand what goes on behind the scenes in SAS datasets

2. DATA STRUCTURING will make you leap into transforming data to a new level by merging and joining multiple datasets together, or turning them upside-down (sorting), and side-ways (transposing)

3. DATA VISUALIZATION will propel you further into the world of analytics and obtaining insightful inferences from what is inside your data

4. OPTIMIZING CODE will  take into the world of macro programming that teaches you how to write your code professionally and elegantly

At the end of each section, you will try out most concepts discussed in that section through coding exercises and guided assignments. Don't worry if you make mistakes in the assignments, these are guided assignments where I hand-hold you showing all the steps to get them correctly done. At the end of the course, there are 3 practical Capstone projects that are based on concepts from all sections of the course.

If you wish to further hone your SAS programming skills learnt in this course and apply it on a practical real-life example, I recommend you take my other course on Clinical SAS Programming. If the clinical portion doesn’t interest you, can you skip straight to the hands-on programming lectures (Section 3 onward) where you will begin working with a sample (clinical) data in an Excel sheet, which you will import into SAS, derive all necessary variables as in the mock shell specifications through various procs and functions, and finally generate a clinical study report. All this will be done using guided SAS Programming steps with detailed explanations at every step of programming.

Here’s what makes this course exceptional:

●Accessible Learning: You will gain hands-on experience with SAS OnDemand, which is free and cloud-based, eliminating the need for costly software licenses or installations on your computer. All you need is a working computer, a web browser, and an internet connection.

●Comprehensive Skill Development: You'll learn how to bring in data from multiple sources, including text files and pre-existing SAS datasets. You will also learn the techniques to clean and prepare data by handling delimiters and special characters. You'll master essential data manipulation techniques such as creating new variables, filtering data using where statements, and modifying data.

●Advanced Data Techniques: You will delve into advanced techniques such as using conditional if-else statements to create new variables conditionally, creating custom formats using proc format and also creating formatted reports using proc report. This course will also teach you how to merge data from different sources using various types of joins including a full join.

●Powerful Data Visualization: You'll learn how to represent data in actionable formats through various visualizations using proc chart for both horizontal and vertical bar charts. You'll also be able to create summary statistics, which will provide greater insights into the data.

●Efficient Code Optimization: You'll discover how to optimize your SAS code using powerful tools like SAS macros, which will allow you to write less code while accomplishing complex tasks. You will be able to apply macro functions to perform operations on macro variables.

●Real-World Applications: You will solidify your understanding by working on real-world data-driven projects, such as importing and analyzing car data from different regions, and working on student health data. Through these projects, you'll learn how to reuse code to generate multiple reports.

●Career Advancement: By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the skills to confidently navigate data, perform complex analyses, and create visualizations, all of which can significantly boost your career prospects in the data-driven industries. This course will also prepare you for the real-world challenges of working with complex datasets.

This course is not just about learning SAS; it’s about transforming the way you approach data. Enroll now to begin your journey toward becoming a proficient SAS programmer, capable of handling real-world data challenges and stepping into a variety of career opportunities.
