Thanks, this is just what i was looking for. Will give it a try with the firewall and this address.

We are the IT department and will be doing the updates but the way the setup is we've determined getting the check for updates to work is the easiest way to keep EG up to date. Before any changes are run on a machine administrative credentials are needed so users can check for updates all they want but only we could apply them. Thanks

Hi We have our machines locked down pretty strictly here at work so our "Check for Updates" is failing on Enterprise Guide. I am having a hard time finding the IP/Port combination for the update server it is trying to connect to. Does anyone know the IP/Port combo for this server so i can use this feature. Also if the actual download comes from a different IP/Port after the check do you know that as well? Thanks for any help.

I have a report that will be published year to year and I'd like to cut down on the maintenance needed. I have a lot of aggregated measures for example. Here's some sample code: Sum [_ByGroup_] ('Ordered 2017'n) - Sum [_ByGroup_] ('Ordered 2016'n) I have a chart which has the year as a category. So next year the columns will be 'Ordered 2018' and 'Ordered 2017'. Is it possible for me to do something that will dynamically adjust these column names in the code so that they're not hardcoded and will always be the current year and current year-1. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I suspected that this was the case but figured it was worth a shot to find out. From my searching it seems like this is a pretty requested feature for the modern view so hopefully it'll come out soone than later. I will pass on my question to support as well and see if i hear anything back. Thanks again.

Hi All We are currently on SAS 7.3 and we have users who wish to download data via Excel. Currently that cannot be done in the Modern viewer and requires users to manually switch to the Classic view and then download. Is it possible through a URL parameter in a link to have a report open in the Classic View? We know we can set all reports to Classic through the administrator but we would prefer not to do that and be able to switch a report on a case by case basis without requiring the user to make the switch themselves. Thanks

Wanted to add, in case anyone else is looking for how to do this, that you have to switch to classic view, log out, then log back in, then go to the report and click email to see the full link with the id on the end. If you do it from the new HTML5 version the link doesnt seem to have it. Also i had issues getting the email link to come up in anything other than IE. Just an FYI in case someone runs into a similar need.

Thanks Rick That's too bad, I was hoping for a quicker method but at least we have a way that works. Thanks again

Hi We're trying to setup external links to specific sections to our report. We have found using the url parameter section= will let us link directly to a section by adding it to the URL. The problem is that we have not found an easy way to get that id we need to use in the link. We find it now by going to the section and clicking to email the report in the tab we want and can then find the id in that link that is generated. We know there has to be an easier way but we cannot find it currently and would love some help. We are on version 7.4 but if you could tell us how to do in any version we hope it would be a similar process. Here's an example of the section value to get to one section of our report: &section=vi2158 I hope this makes sense. Thanks

Thanks @ChrisNZ. That worked perfectly. I didnt realize i could just put anything in there and it would default to showing it unbroken. I assumed i had to either reference a parameter or data element. Thanks again.

dakuwan · ‎04-26-2016

@ChrisNZ We were running into the same need of having a default that was just the sum. In our case this was wanting to default to a total headcount when the bars weren't broken by whatever choice they had made. So our chart is breaking by gender, ethnicity, location, etc. Each choice breaks up the headcount and looks good. What we're missing is that last else statement where if nothing is chosen the chart is just a single bar of the headcount unbroken. Could you elaborate on how you did this? Looking at your example i was confused by what the return sum line. That may be due to my overall lack of SAS experience and straightforward for others. Thanks

dakuwan · ‎04-14-2016

Thanks, this worked perfectly and was a lot simpler to implement than i expected. Really appreciate the help.

dakuwan · ‎04-13-2016

Thanks Lodewijk It sounds like a doable workaround. It was my suspicion that it would be something based on parameters. So i know how to make parameters on a control but do not konw how to make a calculated item that would concatenate the text. Would it be possible to see or point to an example of this? Sorry if this is straight forward as we're really just getting started with VA here in our office. Thanks.

We are trying to find out if it is possible to change the grouping of a bar chart based on the choices in a drop down. An example of what we are going for can be found here: https://www.purdue.edu/datadigest/ under the "Student Enrollment" report. What we are looking to do is the equivalent of the "Break Color By" drop down in the left hand menu. The rest of the dropdowns seem to be traditional filters. Thanks

Version: 7.1 Hotfix 1 Is it possible to dynamically change report titles based on the filters chosen. We work in education so for example if a user chooses "College of Engineering" from the college dropdown we'd like the report title to change from "University Breakdown" to "College of Engineering Breakdown". Just to clarify when i say title i mean the text box i am putting on the top of the report not the name of the report itself. We have several filters and we'd prefer the title inform the user of what they are looking at vs having to go back to look at the filters. This becomes an even bigger issue when we use report prompts to group filters. In those cases the filters aren't even viewable once the prompt window closes. They do show with a mouse over the prompt box but thats very obscure to expect a user to know to do. Another issue is when a user opens an infowindow as that obscures the filters entirely so they can't be read and the user has to have remembered what he filtered the report on. I am open to any ideas on how best to do this. I tried list boxes with all the formatting removed as a hack title but that only really works on the infowindow/tabs where i've decided what i'm showing and not based on the filters. Thanks
