About the Webinar 

SAS Viya has powerful procedures to analyse and fix data quality issues. The tools, and support for multiple languages, are included in almost all versions.  They exploit the Quality Knowledge Base, a comprehensive set of lists and rules that enable SAS to (e.g.) intelligently handle misspellings and abbreviations.

SAS Studio Engineer goes further by including steps to generate DQ code through a simple interface, enabling a no-code approach to be used.

What you'll learn:

  • Why data quality matters
  • Examples from the Quality Knowledge Base
  • The supported languages and locales
  • Querying the QKB to discover token types
  • Deterministic vs. probabilistic techniques
  • Key capabilities: Casing, Match Codes, Parsing
  • Creating and using a standardisation scheme
  • Overview of the Studio Engineer DQ steps
