Data preparation is at the heart of any analytic effort. You can't produce meaningful results until you have the necessary data in the appropriate format. You may need to combine, aggregate, modify or filter your existing data sources to create the data needed for your analysis. SAS Viya supports all stages of the analytics lifecycle from data preparation to discovery to deployment. In fact, SAS Viya has many tools you can utilize for preparing your data: you can write code in SAS Studio, create plans in SAS Data Studio or prepare data within reports in SAS Visual Analytics. Each of these tools has its own features and functions. This presentation explores the data preparation features available in SAS Studio, SAS Data Studio, and SAS Visual Analytics and explains when you might want to use each application. Basically, the tool you choose will boil down to two factors: 1. Simplicity and 2. Control. Learn about the amount of coding you'll need to do and the options available.
