Create Your Own Sample Data for SAS BI
In a previous post I suggested some places to find sample data that you could import into the SAS BI for use in various learning projects. I found the Identity Generator site that allows you to create and download test data. Plus it’s my favorite price, free! This is a low tech approach but for what I am usually doing, it would work great. There are several site features that I really liked. Output as many rows as you like to several different file types (XLS, CSV, and even emulate Oracle tables) Load tables that others have created. As with anything free, some are better than others. Fields are only limited by your imagination. Suggest names when you are creating a custom field (shown in the example). After creating your data, just press the green Generate button and ta-dah!
