Can you confirm which product this suggestion is for?

Thanks for this idea. We're considering it in a future release. For now, the suggestion from @Madelyn_SAS will do the trick:

If this is for SAS Visual Analytics, you can place a list control in a prompt container.

Update on this idea: Object templates, available in SAS Visual Analytics 8.3, can support this use case. They enable you to combine VA objects and re-use them in other reports. Then, you can use Madelyn's above suggestion to create a new object template. In this way, you create this template once, share and use going forward. See the related doc on object templates.

Wow, this one really is a "must-have" for any graphical user interface. I find it astounding that the original post was five years ago. As this is sort of thing Excel can already do, out of the box, I would have hoped that a grown-up tool like SAS/Visual Analytics would also offer this.

The Drop-down list needs to be able to handle one or more selections.
