Abstract
Where is your data stored? Oracle tables SQL Server tables Microsoft Access Microsoft Excel Text file All over the place.
Over the years there has been a proliferation of ERP systems and other ways to collect and store data. Many times you need data from different systems to complete a single analysis. Sometimes getting data out can seem like quite a challenge. Luckily, SAS has the capability to access many different types of data but also different ways to do so. This workshop will cover how to use SAS to access data from a variety of sources through both presentation and live demonstration. Some practical tips on which methods work best or are fastest will also be covered.

Topic: Graphing the Easy Way with SAS® Enterprise Guide® (or How to Look Good With Less Effort) |
45 mins |
Abstract
Have you ever wanted to make some fancy graphs but were intimidated by coding them from scratch? Let Enterprise Guide® do the hard part for you. This presentation will provide a brief overview of Enterprise Guide then walk you through creating different types of graphs. Bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots and more will be created. Once the graphs are done, I‘ll "borrow" the generated code, put it in another SAS® program, make a few modifications, and then voila - fancy graphs from your program. I will use both the programming interface and Enterprise Guide in this presentation.
