Cheat sheet for commands?

[finral11]

Hey everyone!

I am new to analytics (pursuing an MS in Business Analytics) and would love to know if there is a cheat sheet out there with all the codes for SAS!

SAS is probably a lot larger than you realize 

Here's a good starting place Programming Documentation for SAS® 9.4 and SAS® Viya® 3.5

All the codes for SAS? That's like thousands, or bajillions. Somewhere in that range.

Here are a few links to the SAS documentation:

Search SAS 9.4 Documentation

Alphabetical list of all SAS PROCs

Alphabetical list of all SAS Statements

Alphabetical list of all SAS Functions

As others have mentioned, SAS is enormous. How big (I made this awhile back and it is generalized)? :

• ~600  Functions
• ~300  FORMATs
• ~100  INFORMATS
• ~600  System options
• ~400  PROCs

I would use The Little SAS Book and learn from that. SAS is very, very approachable. Understand the data step and simple exercises and the rest can be had over time. SAS is way too big to create simple cheat sheets although someone may have. Data step and a handful of procs are very useful.

One other thing, some procs have an entire book written about them. Stay focused on a few simple ones and move into others if needed.
