Hi:

 

I am trying to develop a graph (in SAS VA 7.1) that has both Month and Week metrics.  We want to be able to see the graph at a monthly view, but then if we click a drop down or button we can change that same view to week.  It would change the category from month to week.

 

The only way so far that I can figure out how to do this is to use the time metric as a text field and then concatenate the dataset together by stacking month on top of week.  It has a variable called time (month or week).  As you pick it it changes the graph.

 

The issue (as i am sure you're all aware), is that since it's a text varibable it sorts in alphabetical order.  

 

I can't really use the custom sort since the data changes and there are way more weeks than the custom sort will allow. 

 

Any ideas?  I have been all over this community but have not seen any thing.

 

thanks, 

Dave

Would it help to define Month-Week as a time hierarchy?

Thamks for the reply.

 

I actually tried that.  It would only work if there was a control that "expanded" all time metrics.  It won't let me add hierarchy to any type of control.
