Using SAS Visual Analytics
Designer (the designer), you can rank the data in a report object
to show the top (greatest) value or bottom (least) value for a category
that is based on a measure. For a list table, you can also rank across
a set of categories for the top value or bottom value in the set.
A rank filters the values of a category based on the aggregated measure
by the top or bottom of the values. A rank greatly reduces the visible
categories to make it easier to focus on the top value or bottom value
that interests a user.
For example, you might
create a rank of the top 10 countries by frequency to select the 10
countries that are most represented in your report. As another example,
you might create a rank of the top 10 countries by population to select
the 10 countries with the greatest populations.
