Daily SAS Problem?

g1alelo — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:25:15 GMT

I recently completed a SAS course and I would like to maintain these perishable skills. Is there a daily SAS problem or other SAS challenge that one could complete? Can I wake up and do the Wordle in addition to getting my PROC and DATA steps in?

Go through the SAS Communities and read the original post in old threads (you can pick the New Users community if that is appropriate for you). Don't read the answers, just read the original post. Provide your own answers.

I think 2018 was a good year.

There are lot of coding challenges on internet. You can use those even if they aren't SAS specific, just use SAS to solve them.
One example I've couple of years is "Advent of Code".
