1. Sandwich Your SAS Dataset to Excel Pivot Tables, Charu Shankar
   Monday, 9am / Tuesday, 10am

   Excel is universally loved. So SAS found a way to bring excel into SAS for users to analyze data. Users now ask "Great, I can analyze my data in SAS, but my end users don't have SAS on their desktops. How can I give them SAS data in excel form". We'll go even further, instead of taking SAS into a standard Excel workbook, what if you could take SAS to an excel pivot table? Now you can with this sandwich technique. In this demo watch how quickly you can take a SAS dataset to excel pivot tables. See how in minutes, the Excel table shapes and forms right under your own eyes.
