I am writing to inquire on how to generate descriptive statistics summary in SAS Explore and Visualize, for SAS Viya for Learners 4 version. Statistics summary such as mean, media, variance, standard deviation, quartiles for all qualitative data in a chosen database

I don't know if what you are asking is possible in Explore and Visualize but here is how I do it in SAS Studio (Develop Code and Flows) quite easily.

 

Example: I have a CAS table called hmeq in the CASlib called public. The code below creates all the stats for numeric columns.

 

proc mdsummary data=public.hmeq;
    output out=casuser.hmeq_summ;
run;

 

Output:

You can also go to Discover Information Assets (Information Catalog) - search for your data table & run the analysis (if it has not already been run).  After the analysis has completed, go to the Column Analysis tab - you get all the summary statistics (& a lot more).
