which was stated in the graduate program. Anyway, banks are probably one of the biggest customer of SAS. I highly doubt any analytics unit in banks uses excel. Maybe for some simple number crunching, but definitely not the main tool. Banks are no stranger to both SAS and data analytics.
And you don't need special knowledge to use SAS. Anyone with some programming background can pick up the basics for SAS over a weekend.. of cos, more time is required if you want to dive deeper. But SAS is definitely not hard to use.
And to the poster@12:14AM
if you can analyze everything with a click of a button, that will no longer be considered analytics.
