Because Eileen Dover, the CEO of Good For You! Bakery, began her business with limited background in data architecture, some historical data that was saved in legacy systems is in bad shape. For example, sales date information was entered haphazardly, in different formats; sometimes sales amounts included a dollar sign and cents to the right of the decimal, and sometimes they didn’t; and the alphanumeric code she initially used to designate products is confusing to her new managers.
Ms. Dover wants to ensure that she can move data from her legacy system to SAS®. She had one of her new IT people produce a pipe-delimited data file in .txt format. He was not able to do much data validation/cleaning on his end, and Ms. Dover wants to know if this crucial step can be completed in SAS®. She wants you to do the following:
Import the legacy data file (

) into SAS®. (Note that if you look at the .txt file using a text editing program such as Notepad, you can see anomalies in the data; for example, dates and dollar amounts are represented in different formats.)
Create a report that:
Lists sales, by month, with subtotals and a grand total
Interprets all dates correctly and displays them in the same format
Interprets all dollar values correctly and displays them in the format $99
Add comments to the SAS® code to explain what each section of the code does, so that your team can apply similar to logic to cleaning/validating other data files.

Because Eileen Dover, the CEO of Good For You! Bakery, began her.docx
1. Because Eileen Dover, the CEO of Good For You! Bakery,
began her business with limited background in data architecture,
some historical data that was saved in legacy systems is in bad
shape. For example, sales date information was entered
haphazardly, in different formats; sometimes sales amounts
included a dollar sign and cents to the right of the decimal, and
sometimes they didn’t; and the alphanumeric code she initially
used to designate products is confusing to her new managers.
Ms. Dover wants to ensure that she can move data from her
legacy system to SAS®. She had one of her new IT people
produce a pipe-delimited data file in .txt format. He was not
able to do much data validation/cleaning on his end, and Ms.
Dover wants to know if this crucial step can be completed in
SAS®. She wants you to do the following:
Import the legacy data file (
Week 4 Assignment Data
) into SAS®. (Note that if you look at the .txt file using a text
editing program such as Notepad, you can see anomalies in the
data; for example, dates and dollar amounts are represented in
different formats.)
Create a report that:
Lists sales, by month, with subtotals and a grand total
Interprets all dates correctly and displays them in the same
format
Interprets all dollar values correctly and displays them in the
format $99
2. Add comments to the SAS® code to explain what each section
of the code does, so that your team can apply similar to logic to
cleaning/validating other data files.
