28 28 Objectives Define a new column of data in a query by building an expression.

29 29 Business Scenario Orion Star wants to analyze shipment methods by determining how many days elapse between each order date and delivery date. The company also wants to calculate the total amount invoiced to the customer, which is the sum of total retail price and shipping charges. Delivery_Date - Order_Date SUM(Total_Retail_Price, Shipping)

30 30 Computed Columns New summarized columns, recoded columns, or columns based on an expression can be added to a query in the Query Builder. Select to begin creating a new column.

31 31 New Computed Column Wizard A wizard guides you through the process of creating the new column and assigning attributes such as the column name, label, and format.

32 32 Expression Editor The Expression Editor enables you to build expressions based on variables, operators, and functions.

33 33 SAS Functions Example: A SAS function is a routine that returns a value that is determined from specified arguments. General form of a SAS function: function-name(argument1,argument2,...) sum(Salary,Bonus)

34 34 Using SAS Functions SAS functions can do the following: perform arithmetic operations compute sample statistics (for example, sum, mean, and standard deviation) manipulate SAS dates process character values perform many other tasks  Sample statistics functions ignore missing values.

60 60 Objectives Join multiple tables by common columns. Include only matching rows.

61 61 Business Scenario In a previous query, products with total profits exceeding $500 were identified. Analysts asked for more details about these top products, including the product category, the product, supplier, and country name. The columns to include come from three different tables. topproductsproductsCountry _lookup

62 62 Business Scenario To include the necessary columns, the topproducts SAS table must be joined with the products SAS table and the country_lookup Excel spreadsheet.

63 63 Joining Tables Joining tables enables you to extract and simultaneously process data from more than one table.

64 64 Joining Tables By default, the Query Builder includes matching rows only in the results.

65 65

66 66 4.06 Multiple Answer Poll Which customers will be returned by the Query Builder if these tables are combined using the default join type? a.Smith, John (00001) b.Anderson, Tim (00002) c.Jones, Betsy (00003) d.Customer 00004 e.Rigsbee, Marilyn (00005)

81 81 Objectives Perform different join types.

82 82 Business Scenario In an effort to improve customer retention, the Marketing Department at Orion Star would like to identify those customers in the database that did not place a recent order.

83 83 Joining Tables Types of Joins: Matching Rows Only (SAS Enterprise Guide default) –produces results where only the rows from one table that have a corresponding match in every other table are returned. All Rows from one or both tables –produces results where all of the matched rows from both tables and the unmatched rows from at least one table are returned. All Rows from AAll Rows from A and BAll Rows from B A B

84 84 Review: Matching Rows Only

85 85 Including Nonmatching Rows All rows from customerdatabase and itemsordered

86 86 All rows from customerdatabase Including Nonmatching Rows

87 87 Including Nonmatching Rows All rows from itemsordered

88 88 Join Properties (Review) The Join Properties include the ability to modify the join type or condition. Selecting a different join type can be used to identify or eliminate nonmatching rows.

89 89 Isolating Nonmatching Rows The query can also include a filter to isolate the nonmatching rows from one or both tables. Customers in the CustomerDatabase table who have not placed orders Filter to include only rows where Customer_ID is missing from the orders table

90 90

91 91 4.08 Multiple Choice Poll Which would be the most appropriate join type to begin to isolate those orders placed on products that are no longer included in the products table? a.Matching rows only b.All rows from products c.All rows from orders d.All rows from products and orders

92 92 4.08 Multiple Choice Poll – Correct Answer Which would be the most appropriate join type to begin to isolate those orders placed on products that are no longer included in the products table? a.Matching rows only b.All rows from products c.All rows from orders d.All rows from products and orders

93 93 Joining Tables Including Nonmatching Rows This demonstration illustrates how to change the join type to include nonmatching rows in a query.

97 97 Chapter 4: Creating Simple Queries 4.1 Introduction to Querying Data 4.2 Filtering and Sorting Data 4.3 Creating New Columns with an Expression 4.4 Grouping and Summarizing Data in a Query 4.5 Joining Tables 4.6 Joining Tables Including Nonmatching Rows (Self-Study) 4.7 Creating New Columns by Recoding Values (Self-Study)

98 98 Objectives Recode individual values or a range of values in a column.

99 99 Business Scenario To further analyze profit per order, management would like to categorize each order in the following ranges: $0 to $100 $100 to $500 $500 and Above

100 100 Recoded Columns New columns can also be derived by recoding values from an existing column.

101 101 Recoded Values Recoding a column enables you to assign a value to a new column based on the value of an existing column. When Order_Type=1 Then Order_Type_Detail = 'Retail Sale' TRUE When Order_Type=3 FALSE When Order_Type=2 FALSE Then Order_Type_Detail = 'Catalog Sale' Then Order_Type_Detail = 'Internet Sale'

102 102

103 103 4.09 Quiz What should be assigned to the new column if Order_Type = 999? ???

104 104 4.09 Quiz – Correct Answer What should be assigned to the new column if Order_Type = 999? Possible answers: Assign a missing value. Assign ‘999’. Assign ‘Other’. ???

105 105 Recode a Column The New Computed Column wizard provides an option for recoding the values of an existing column in the input table.

106 106 Specify a Replacement The wizard enables you to specify replacements based on distinct values, ranges, or conditions. Select the new column type before you define replacement values. Determine a value for data not assigned a replacement.

107 107 Creating a New Column by Recoding Values This demonstration illustrates the use of the Recoding Values in a query to create a new column based conditionally on an existing column.
