Subject: Unexpected filter interaction issue (Drop-Down List and Date Slider) in SAS Visual Analytics Hi everyone, I am currently working with SAS Visual Analytics on version Long-Term Support 2025.09 (Release 20251209.1765255106922). I built a report that combines two types of controls: a Drop-Down List filter and a Date Slider filter. I noticed an unexpected behavior depending on the order in which the filters are applied: Problematic Scenario: When I first select a value from the Drop-Down List filter and then adjust the date range using the Date Slider, the Date Slider action completely resets the Drop-Down List selection. This happens even though there are records that satisfy both criteria simultaneously. Expected / Working Scenario: If I apply the filters in the reverse order -- adjusting the Date Slider first and then making a selection in the Drop-Down List -- everything works as expected and the filters apply correctly together. Is this a known issue or bug in this release, or is there a specific setting in the filter interaction options that I should modify to ensure they work seamlessly regardless of the selection order? Thank you in advance for your help! @VisualAnalytics

We need to get one-way frequency output for several hundred variables into a single SAS data set, so that we can compare counts and percents across different years of data.
I looked at the data set produced by the OneWayFreqs ODS output option. It provides both unformatted and formatted values (e.g. columns for Sex and F_Sex), but the data set is hard to work with for a large number of tables, since it has a separate pair of columns for each tabulated variable.
It then occurred to me that it might be simpler to just route the PROC FREQ output to a CSV file, and it turns out that this output is much more compact and directly usable for my purposes. However, it only contains the formatted variable values, and it would be handy if I could get both formatted and unformatted.
One would think this would be possible, but after spending some time looking at the template code and PROC TEMPLATE code, I sure can't figure out how.
