The role of a SAS programmer in the Pharmaceutical industry has become very versatile over the years. SAS programmers are no longer just coding using SAS  but also performing many other functions including writing programming specifications, annotating Case Report Forms (CRF) and mocks shells, preparing documents for a New Drug Application (NDA), etc. As such, knowledge of robotic features in other tools and editors can come in very handy. One such tool is Microsoft Excel, which is relatively easy to learn and widely used already. This paper will discuss how programming specifications that require repetitive code can be transformed into SAS code in seconds by taking advantage of different functions in Excel.
