Newbie: How to swap row and columns in list table in Visual Analytics 7.3?

[obertel]

Hi

I'm struggling with a simple task. Having one category (year/month) and two measures, I want to create a report with year/month in the columns and the two measures in the rows.

Default the list table object looks like this:

               Measure1     Measure2           

2017-jan             10           20

2017-feb             15           10

2017-mar             11           12

2017-...

The requirement is to swap the rows and columns to get this result:

           2017-jan   2017-feb   2017-mar   2017-...

Measure1         10         15         11

Measure2         20         10         12

I have already looked into crosstab but it doesn't seem to give the required result.

I'm using SAS Visual Analytics 7.3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi draycut

Thanks for your fast reply.

I'm looking for a solution within VA, without SAS programming. Is it possible?

Ok. I'm no VA expert, but my best guess is the Pivot By Feature . 

If that doesn't work for you, there is a Visual Analytics Community on here where you can post your question or search for related threads 🙂

Hi Ole.

You are not the first to struggle with this issue, but this cannot be done directly in VA Designer / Explorer 7.3, but it can be done in VA 8.2. See more at https://www.sas.com/va

If you want this, then you need to prepare your data before VA, just like the other answer suggested. Either in SAS og VA data builder.
