Bought, never read! November 23, 2008
Bought this book for a new job that didn't happen. You'll probably see itllisted soon!
 Terribly misnamed book!! June 10, 2008
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I purchased this book based on the title and the description provided by Amazon, although I have no clue where they got it. However, while I was looking for a book that described SAS, the language, this book describes SAS, the Windows interface. There is nothing in this book about the actual SAS language, so if that is what you're looking for, like I was, then steer clear of this! Somewhere on the cover or in Amazon's description of this book, there should be a big, red, warning label making sure that you are aware that really this is SAS (Windows) for Dummies!! I guess, in my case, the dummies part was pretty descriptive! I also will never, ever, buy another "for Dummies" book. There is $30 + shipping and handling down the drain.

SAS for Dummies was great!!! It provided the information to jump-in and get started. But it should be called SAS Enterprise for Dummies as much of the book is dedicated to using SAS Enterprise rather than Base SAS.
Great intro to "new" SAS August 9, 2007

SAS For Dummies, like all of the books in the Dummies series I've read, is an enjoyable to read, easy to understand introduction to a broad and complex topic. As some have mentioned, the focus of this book is not on "SAS programming." Rather it covers getting your analysis and reporting work done using some of the newer offerings from SAS in the "business intelligence" area, including Enterprise Guide and other products. There is, however, a helpful chapter on what kinds of programming tasks can be done by more advanced users and what long-time SAS programmers may miss. (For a good book on SAS programming, I'd recommend The Little SAS Book). Also included in SAS For Dummies is good coverage of data integration, "Stored Processes" for analysis and reporting, and 2 chapters on analytics. These 2 chapters are especially helpful as an introduction to difficult concepts. Overall, this book provides a helpful overview of getting your data manipulation, analysis, and reporting tasks done with SAS, and a no-nonsense, nuts and bolts understanding of some of the newest software from SAS.
Great intro to SAS- no programming required! July 25, 2007

SAS for Dummies may seem like an oxymoron, but this book was very useful at bringing a formerly frustrated user like me back to SAS from S, Systat, and Minitab.
When I had tried SAS a few years ago, it was very heavy on programming and learning a fairly complex language (the SAS language.) As a social scientist whose forte isn't programming (I found the syntax and many manuals! of SAS programming very difficult to pick up and use), I wanted easy access to data importing, data management, graphics, and statistical analysis. This book and the new SAS product covered in this book actually fits the bill (Enterprise Guide.)
Overall, I like the main product in the book and found the sections on importing and managing data good introductions to something that used to be incredibly hard with just SAS programming. The book requires no programming, but does have a chapter for those who already program in SAS or want to run old SAS programs in EG.
I really like that I can create many of the graphs that I spent hours or days before in just a few minutes. The book also has a nice overview of many statistical analyses, including a few techniques I may able to add to my work in the future.
After just a few weeks, I can see the real value of SAS since it so much easier to do my work with Enterprise Guide. I can transition much of my simple and advanced analysis to SAS. I highly recommend this book if you are in a similar situation and need to manage, graph, and analyze your data all in one application.
