SAS for the Absolute Beginner (and the Data Curious)

Let’s face it: data is everywhere, and it’s not going anywhere. If you’re trying to make sense of it all (and maybe impress your boss in the process), SAS could be your secret weapon. But don’t worry, you don’t have to be a data scientist to use it.

Enter SAS For Dummies, 2nd Edition.

Co-written by authors who actually work with SAS (so yes, they know their PROC SORT from their PROC MEANS), this refreshingly approachable guide walks you through everything you need to know to start using SAS in your business or organization. No jargon fluency required.

Whether you’re dealing with mountains of operational data, wrangling performance metrics, or trying to forecast next quarter’s sales, SAS is designed to help. And this book makes it fun (or at least painless) to learn.

Inside the Book:

  • SAS 101: Learn what SAS is, what it can do, and why it might just become your favorite tool in the analytics arsenal.
