Jacob was great. I don't usually use SQL in SAS. So, I needed a lot of hand-holding to troubleshoot a small table command with INTNX function. In a 20-minute session, he walked me through at least 7 changes until he found one that worked. Then he suggested a couple of small changes that would make my code more efficient.
