SAS VA 8.5.2 - I would like to create a hierarchy(?) where the user can click on a categorical value in a bar chart (<24 hrs, 24-48 hrs, ..) and have it drill down to the numeric values behind the category (e.g. click on '<24 hrs' and it opens another bar chart showing the distribution of hours for this group). Trying to create a hierarchy does not let me use the numeric hours variable. Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Christy-

You might try duplicating your numeric data item (Hours) and then changing the duplicated data item from a measure to a category.  That should allow you to use this within a hierarchy.
