Let me explain a scenario which illustrates my idea in SAS Visual Analytics.

 

In SAS Visual Analytics Report Designer, there is a facility “Distribute Reports”, using this option user is capable to distribute their reports via email and get report snapshot as PDF attachment, also user can automate this entire process in particular intervals of time.

 

Apart from this, if user dealing with list report which holds huge amount of records and these data need to distribute via email and can get the PDF attachment. As we know, PDF can be used as reference, no point of editing, data filtering and easy way of analysing huge amount of data is difficult part. So, if would be very useful to users who were dealing with large dataset and list data, if SAS provide EXCEL also an option as attachment in Distributing Reports.

 

Appreciating SAS for inviting suggestions. @BeverlyBrown Thank you for the support.

 Hi @Saikrishna979 -- this is currently not planned as a feature.  Attaching an Excel file with data can present several logistical challenges with data size and security, so it's not something that a lot of customers have asked for.

 

However, the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office provides excellent integration with SAS Visual Analytics.  Using Microsoft Excel, you add your VA reports into any spreadsheet for further reporting and analysis.  Workbooks can be refreshed with a click, so you'll always have the latest data.

 

Here's a screenshot of what that might look like.
