The SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office is not a new tool, but it has evolved. It's a super powerful resource, only takes minutes to get setup, is available for both SAS 9 and SAS Viya, and brings the use of SAS analytics and direct SAS data access from popular Microsoft Office products. The tool is well documented and supported, but may be an asset you've yet to explore. So, we decided to (re)introduce the topic in February's edition of the SAS Bowl.
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.
For those who may be new to the SAS Bowl, you can find game history and specifics in this Community memo. There you'll also find links to previous events, which include recordings.
On game day, Join the TEAMS meeting to play and show off your SAS and worldly knowledge while competing for bragging rights and SAS Community game gear.
'See' you on February 9th!
Pleased to see SAS Bowl Trivia has returned in 2022! YAY and thank you!!!
