Hi Rahul   You'll be pleased to find this is very quick to fix.   As you've found, when a numeric variable comes into VA it defaults to being a measure.    If you want it to be a category, you can easily change it to that.   Click on the data item in the left pane > See properties of that data item at the bottom, with "Classification" shown as "Measure" > Click on "Measure", and select "Category" from drop down   Or can "Right-mouse" click on data item in left pane, and choose "Category"    Done! It now can be used as a category. Of course you can't do calcuations on it now.   If you need to use it in both ways, that is as "Category" and "Measure", you can duplicate the data item, call it a different name, and change that one to a "Category".   A classic for this is age. You may want age as a "Measure", to get average or max age. And also want age as a "Category", to have certain age groups, so can show bars for each age group.   Hope that helps,     ... View more

Hi Jei The standard is to put the data you want loaded into C:\sas94\config\Lev2\AppData\SASVisualAnalytics\VsualAnalyticsAdministrator\AutoLoad not C:\sas94\config\Lev2\AppData\SASVisualAnalytics\VsualAnalyticsAdministrator\AutoLoad\VALIBLA (i.e. not in the VALIBLA folder). The \Unload folder is for when you want to delete the VA table and the \Append folder is for when you want to append data to an existing VA table. And the standard schedule.bat to use is in C:\sas94\config\Lev2\Applications\SASVisualAnalytics\VisualAnalyticsAdministrator These are the standard locations, however I recommend changing the autoload folder to a location away from the standard config files, as you don't really want users writing files into your config folder structure. But that's another topic! Note, I teach the VA Admin course which covers this and other ways to load data. ... View more

Hi I've been told LASR doesn't stand for anything. I guess SAS had to come up with some name for the VA in-memory server that does the smart work, and this word hadn't been used, and it sounds modern and sharp! ... View more
