Create a Report

On the SAS Visual Analytics home page, click Create Report. The designer opens with a new, empty report.
Drag an object, such as a Bar Chart , from the left pane onto the canvas in the center of the screen.
To add data:
1. On the Data tab (in the left pane), click Select a data source. In the Add Data Source window, select a data source or click a link in the Import Data panel to add a new data source. Click Add.
  
  Note: For more details about importing data, see the SAS Visual Analytics: User's Guide.
2. Drag a category from the Data tab onto the Category label (at the bottom of the bar chart).
  
  Tip
  A category has alphanumeric or date values that can be used as discrete groupings (for example, the values in a product category might include shoes and belts).
3. Drag a measure from the Data tab onto the bar chart.
  
  Tip
  A measure has numeric values that can be used as numbers (for example, the values in a sales measure might specify the quantity of units sold).
Extend, enhance, and refine the report (as little or as much as you like). For ideas, see Cheat Sheet for Reports.
