SAS Visual Analytics report objects might return an error if the data source filter includes the DateTimeFromTimeMDY operator, the TimePart operator, and/or the Now() function. In this scenario, either some report object sections or the entire report object might fail with a red 'x' and the following error: 

The error does not occur if you use the DateTimeFromTimeMDY operator, the TimePart operator, and/or the Now() function in a filter directly on the report object.

The following SAS^® Visual Statistics report objects are affected:

• Decision Tree
• Generalized Additive Model
• Nonparametric Logistic Regression

The following SAS^® Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning report objects are affected:

• Forest
• Gradient Boosting
• Neural Network

As a workaround, first create a calculated date/time data item that includes the operator or function in the expression. For example, the expression for dateTime_Calc would be as follows:

Next, reference the calculated date/time data item in the data source filter. For example, the data source filter would be as follows:
