3 Ways to Create Macro Variables in SAS | Data Tutorial | Macros

In this Green Numbers video I show you how to use macros in SAS. With macros you can make your code more reusable and flexible. Reusing code can save you a lot of time and reduce clutter. Macro programming can seem daunting at first, especially if you’re new to programming, but if you focus on and practice the basics and build out from there, I promise you’ll find this skill very rewarding.

This is the first video in the macro series. In this video I’m going to show you how to create and use a macro variable. In other videos I’ll show you how to use blocks of code to do repetitive tasks, and how to use if then logic and loops to process large volumes of data with very little code.
