About this Subscription

SAS Visual Analytics is an easy-to-use data visualization tool that is used for reporting, data exploration, and analytics. The application enables users - even those without advanced analytical skills - to understand and examine patterns, trends, and relationships in data. SAS Visual Analytics makes it easy to create and share reports and dashboards that monitor business performance, and predictive analytics enable business analysts to assess possible outcomes to help their organization make smarter, data-driven decisions. The learning subscription includes courses for SAS Visual Analytics in SAS®9 and on the SAS Viya platform and everything you need to become a certified business analyst. You can find additional resources here.

Learn how to:

  • Use SAS Visual Analytics for data preparation, data discovery, and report creation.
  • Use advanced functionality and features provided by SAS Visual Analytics.
  • Use SAS Visual Statistics to build predictive models for highly interactive, rapid model fitting.
  • Administer a SAS Visual Analytics environment deployed on Linux.
