Challenge: Let's build a template report sporting all (common) visualizatios based on sashelp tables

@Stu_SAS I've built for my company a roadshow report.

It comprises the majority of common visualizations. I started including custom build graphs and even Data-driven-content powered visualizations.

That helps beginners to understand the data structure that each object requires. And to get a clear picture about the nice visualizations Visual Analytics offers.

I invite @MarkusWeick and @Renato_sas as well to participate. And all others that feel the mission to spread the use of Visual Analytics accoss their companies.

We could share instructions to load the report via xml load BIRD command and as it draws from sashelp files it should be reproduceable for all.

Hi @acordes,

I like your idea and would join. At the moment I have access only to VA 7.5. Maybe we could include a comparison of what you can do in 7.5 (under SAS 9.4) and what in Viya?

Best

Markus

Cool idea 🙂

The VA documentation has a gallery of objects, some of which you might recognize as using SASHELP.CARS and SASHELP.CLASS.

It's a nice idea, indeed. Like @Sam_SAS, I also thought about the gallery of visualizations in the documentation when I read about the challenge, which could be used as a guideline or source of inspiration. For a second pass on this challenge, showing how Options can modify each standard visualization could be an interesting exercise as well.
