End users often want to use Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications to analyze, view, or present data. However, this approach can result in multiple versions of the truth or introduce errors, because the data is entered manually, or incorrect formulas or analyses are used. A key component of SAS Enterprise BI Server is SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office, which brings the powerful data access, reporting, and analytic capabilities of SAS to the familiar user interfaces of Microsoft's Excel, Word, and PowerPoint applications, and provides centralized information via SAS processes and servers. This paper introduces some of this functionality, which results in improved productivity by SAS programmers, analysts, and end users.
