SAS Data Preparation product benefits
Powerful data transformations
Leverage row- and column-based transformations to standardize, remediate, and shape data. Use code-based transformations to leverage powerful SAS code. Transform multiple inputs without SQL or SAS.
Built-In Data Quality
Standardize data with locale- and context-specific definitions into a common format, like casing. Perform data identification for patterns such as gender, email, and phone. Match codes to assist in “fuzzy” matching. Use parsing to tokenize data into substrings, such as Address. Change case, convert column, rename, remove, split, trim whitespace, and your own custom calculations.
Built-In Data Profiling
Generate column-based and table-based basic and advanced profile metrics. Use table-level profile metrics to uncover data quality issues. Drill into each column for column-level profile metrics and to see visual graphs of pattern distribution and frequency distribution results that help uncover hidden insights.
Data Lineage
Explore relationships between accessible data sources, data objects and jobs. Use the relationship graph to visually show the relationships that exist between objects, making it easier to understand the origin of data and trace its processing.
Comprehensive data and metadata access
DNFS, HDFS, PATH-based files (CSV, SAS, Excel, delimited), DB2, Hive, Impala, SAS® LASR™, ODBC, Oracle, Postgres, Teradata. Feeds from Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Google Analytics, Google Drive, Esri and local files, and SAS® Cloud Analytic Services (CAS).
Big Data
Retain big data in situ, and push processing to Teradata or Hadoop by including SAS In-Database optional add-ons.
