SAS Visual Analytics might not enable you to edit an existing calculated item or create a new one. Specifically, the OK button in the Calculated Item dialog box is active, but it does not respond when you click it.

There are no errors.

This problem can occur if the name of any data item used in the expression begins with a number sign (#). For example, this problem would occur if the expression included a data item that was named #RegionalSales.

Currently, the only workaround is to rename the data item in the source data.
