This Specialization provides comprehensive, hands-on training in SAS PROC SQL and macro-driven automation for real-world data analysis. Learners progress from foundational query construction and data manipulation to advanced techniques including subqueries, performance optimization, metadata management, and dynamic macro programming. Through structured modules and applied exercises, participants gain the ability to design efficient, scalable, and maintainable SQL workflows within the SAS environment. By the end of the program, learners will confidently analyze complex datasets, automate reporting processes, and implement enterprise-level SQL solutions aligned with professional data analyst and SAS programmer roles.
