More on the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office
First mention I can find of the tool is from 2016, so there's many resources on how to set up and use the Add-In. In a nutshell, you can open your favorite Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook) and connect to SAS. From there you can write code, access SAS data, and incorporate the results into your application. The resources below can explain things better in detail. Use these resources to get familiar with the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office and prepare for the trivia game while you learn. Note, this is a small list of the many available resources.
