When was the first version of SAS Visual Analytics released?

I am filling in details in my CV and cannot remember when SAS VA was released for the first time. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Ylva

Hello @ytingstr,

perhaps I have problems trusting such kind questions, but to me it sounds strange.

Hope I understood it wrong and you are not trying to trick your CV, that would't bring you our your prospects anywhere 🙂

Anyway, for whom would look for this information out of curiosity and all of you who google or support.sas.com matched you with this thread:

While not sure, I think SAS Visual Analytics 6.1 (the first version I can remember) was released somewhere December 2012.

Perhaps one of our dear SAS colleagues can complete this info.

Kind regards,

Juan

Would you not want to put in how much experience you have on the product rather than when things were released? To me if I see a CV I would be more interested in examples of how you have used the tool, and possibly a rough idea of for how long in years, rather than information about the tool.

I need to insert the number of years of experience and since I was working at SAS Institute at the time of release, I have used it since then. After leaving, it could actually be quite tricky to remember all the things that happened in different years.

I have tried to google SAS Support, but that can be a skill in itself. If you find an easy way, please let me know.

Thanks for your reply. That should be close enough.

And of course, I would never dream of making things up in my CV

December 2012 is correct, but the first release was 5.1.

Best,

Oh, wow, @Renato_sas, thank you 🙂

Do you have any nice screenshot of 5.1? For memories of some and my geeky interest.
