We are using SAS Visual Analytics release 8.3.1   I am  trying to properly format the report for printing. The report has 3 crosstabs all placed vertically top down on the page. However, my problem exists regardless of the positioning.   Here is the problem: I choose "Print" and the "Print to PDF" box opens. I then choose "Show page numbers", "Show empty rows and columns in table", and "Expand clipped and non-visible content". When I click on the "print" button the pdf document that is created has this problem. The first page(s) show what appears to be a screen shot of the report. It has cut off columns and rows. This is not really usable at all. After that it displays each visual (crosstab or list table) on its own page (or pages if number of rows require more than 1 page). This is what is really useful and what the business clients are looking for. I need help in removing those first pages which contain the garbled and unusable "screen shot" visuals with cut off rows and columns. The business clients need these reports emailed to them "Distribute Report" and the pdfs sent are taken from the pring settings. Can someone explain how to remove the first "screenshot" pages? If it cannot be done, is this behaviour by design or is it a bug? ... View more

We are using SAS Visual Analytics release 8.3.1   I am having trouble configuring a report so I can use the "Distribute report" feature to send it to the business clients. The report has 3 crosstabs all located vertically top down vertically on the page. As per instructions, to configure the layout for a report to be distributed in pdf format, one most use the configuration options using the "print" feature. I choose print and the print window comes up. I then choose portrait for orientation and then choose the "Expand clipped and non-visible content". I then click on "Print" to generate the pdf document.   The first pages in the document show the crosstabs as they would look in the report as any further rows or columns that need to be scrolled to are not displayed. The pages after that then show the crosstabs containing all the rows and columns.   How do I removed the first display of crosstabs that only show partial rows/columns? I am wondering if this is a bug in that they are of no use. ... View more

I need to fix a SA VA report. The report contains 3 crosstab visuals. The top part of the report has 2 crosstab visuals side by side and the bottom half has one crosstab visual directly below the other 2. The clients get these reports scheduled to them on a regular basis. This is what they use for their archiving and sending to their colleagues. The reports come in pdf format and they have said they are unusable. The reports they are getting have the far right columns of the crosstabs cut off. To create the pdf I have been using the print functionality and choosing "Show empty rows and columns in table" and "Expand clipped and non-visible content". The pdf created then displays the 2 crosstab visuals side by side at the top (again cutting off columns) and the 3rd visual below it. On the 2nd and 3rd page it then displays the 1st 2 crosstab visuals a second time but this time with no columns missing. Why is it doing this? I then tested distributing the report by sending it to myself and the pdf that was emailed to me was different with columns and rows missing. Is it possible to format pdf files that get distributed? Also, is it possible to set the page size to add more visuals from which when a user is viewing the report the option exists to scroll down to view more information? ... View more

Hello,   We are running SAS VA 8.3   One of our users pointed this issue out to me and I want to find out if this is a bug or by design.   When we create a data plan (could be doing various tasks such as splitting, renaming, calculating columns, etc.) which saves to a table, has the settings "Save plan and table", and Replace table if the name of the target table already exists.   When I run the data plan the first time the table is created. However, if I open the data plan and choose "Run from beginning" it runs but when I look at the target table it has not been updated. If I "Save as..." the plan and then "Run from the beginning" the target table gets updated. Is this behaviour by design or is it a bug? If by design what is the reason? ... View more
