Welcome back to the final installment of our exploration into the latest upgrades in SAS Visual Analytics in SAS Viya for Learners 4. In part 1, we covered the general enhancements, and in part 2, we took a deep dive into the creation of data items, including calculated expressions and dynamic features. Now, in part 3, we will turn our focus to the powerful world of objects within SAS Visual Analytics. Get ready to discover how these versatile tools can transform your data visualization and analysis, making your analysis more insightful and impactful than ever before. Let's dive in!
Cell graphs in crosstabs and list tables are now known as cell visualizations.
When you select the Totals option, the Subtotals option, or both options for a crosstab in a report that you are designing, you can select or deselect the individual category and measure data items that you want to be displayed.
When you are viewing a report, a new pop-up menu enables you to select/deselect totals and subtotals in a crosstab.
You can now export crosstab and list table data with its structure preserved to a Microsoft Excel workbook.
The automated explanation object now displays geographic maps when the response variable is a measure, and the selected underlying factor is a geography.
Automated explanation objects identify extreme values (possible outliers) in the characteristics summary. The full list of values is displayed in the Anomalies tab of the details table.
You can now explain the characteristics of a data item, in an object in a pop -up window. The pop-up window displays the same summary description that is displayed in an automated explanation.
For geo coordinate objects and geo region-coordinate objects, the Enable data label thinning option hides data labels as needed to avoid overlapping text.
The new geo pie object enables you to display your data as pie charts on a geographic map. You can use the geo pie object to display the distribution of category values for each location or region on the map.
The new geo bubble and geo cluster objects provide dedicated objects for functionality that was previously part of the geo coordinate object.
For geographic mapping objects, a new Change type option enables you to change a specific data layer in the map to a different type of map layer.
