Does your organization have SAS® Enterprise Guide and you still have not taken advantage of it? With simple steps to start using SAS® Enterprise Guide, then you too can become an expert. I hope my comparison along with introductory papers and videos help with the transition.

One of my favorite general utility tasks is the 'Characterize Data' task to view counts of unique values and descriptive statistics and the 'Proc Summary' task to use drag-n-drop method for Proc Tabulate layout prototyping. Have a best practice tip to share with other SAS® Savvy members? See one page summary sheet and BI and ETL. See also SAS for Dummies Cheat Sheet and Microsoft Office Add-In to Excel.
