SAS Visual Analytics New Calculated Item

Zatere — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 12:18:50 GMT

Hi there,

I would ask for any assistance on the following.

In SAS VA in Report Designer, I am tring to create "Button Bars" options so the users can select which measure to view.

Say for example, for some Product Lines I want to see three measures of two different months:

VALUE_Jan

VALUE_Feb

Quantity_Jan

Quantity_Feb

AVG_Jan

AVG_Feb

Below how the data looks like:

	VALUE_Jan	VALUE_Feb	Quantity_Jan	Quantity_Feb	AVG_Jan	AVG_Feb
Product1
Product2
Product3
Product4
Product5
Product6
Product7
Product8
Product9
Product10

I have gone through and created the New Custom Category, the New Parameter and the New Calculated Item. The "Buttons" I have created are as follows:

VALUE

Quantity

AVG

But when I create the Calculated Item I can only return either Jan or Feb data for all the measures and as a result I can only vusualise only one month.

Is there any way to visulaise both months? In other words, can I create the "Buttons" in a different way so that when I click on them both months appear?

Hope it makes sense.

Thanks

What happens if you restructure your data to a long format, with the following type layout and thn add the Measure as a Button Bar.

Not sure if this is possible given your other needs.

Product Month Measure Value

Product1 Jan Quantity 1

Product1 Jan Average 2

Thank you for your reply.

I guess I will have to restructure lots of my data. I just started to use SAS VA.

However, what I did was to create thre Calculated item twice: one for Jan and one for Feb. And when I create any visualisation I drag and drop both.
