SAS VA Report Category Section Has Different Icons

Dee2 — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 16:28:11 GMT

My version of SAS Visual Analytics is 8.5.1.

There are two icons in the following. The first one is from the data set. I think the second one is calculated field. How was it created? Thanks.

When I clicked on New data item, there is not an icon like the second one above.

That is just the standard icon for a DATE data item.

This topic in the user doc covers the icons and data item types you will see in the Data pane:

You can make a calculated item that is a date, usually by using either the Parse() operator or the DateFromMDY() operator.
