About Course

SAS Macros & Automation is a hands-on course focused on teaching you how to write, debug, and apply SAS macros to automate data processing and reporting tasks. Whether you’re working with large-scale datasets or running repetitive procedures, macro programming can help streamline your workflow, reduce errors, and save time.

You’ll learn how to create reusable code, pass parameters, use macro variables, and write conditional logic that makes your SAS programs smarter and more efficient.

This course is ideal for data analysts, programmers, and professionals in clinical research, banking, and business analytics.

Introduction to SAS Macros and why they matter
Creating and using macro variables (%LET, &varname)
Writing macro programs using %MACRO and %MEND
Passing parameters to macros for dynamic code generation
Using conditional logic and %IF-%THEN structures
Looping with %DO-%WHILE and %DO-%UNTIL
Automating report generation, dataset creation, and export
Debugging macros with MPRINT, SYMBOLGEN, and MLOGIC
Best practices for writing reusable, scalable SAS macros
