Hi SAS VA Experts,   I'm working with time series data in SAS VA and need some guidance on how to best display a full-year forecast.   My Data: I have a dataset with a 'Year-Month' variable (e.g., "2024-01") and a corresponding 'Count' for each month. This data spans multiple previous years, and I have actual data for the current year up to a certain point.   Data Excerpt: Year-Month Count 2024-01 15877 ... ... 2024-12 10630 2025-01 16409 2025-02 13719 2025-03 15951 2025-04 14656 (Data for May 2025 onwards would be future/forecasted values)     The Goal: I want to display the total 'Count' for the full year 2025. This total should combine: Actual 'Count' values for the months in 2025 that have already occurred. Forecasted 'Count' values for the remaining future months of 2025. Current Approach & Challenge: SAS VAs built-in forecasting objects are great for generating month-by-month predictions. I can visually see these predictions on a time series plot. To get the annual total for 2025, I can manually sum the actual monthly values for 2025 with the predicted monthly values from the forecast plot. However, this manual summation isn't practical for my report users. They need to see the total 2025 forecast (actual + predicted sum) directly within a table or, ideally, visualized in a plot.   Question: Is it possible in SAS VA to automatically calculate and display this combined actual and forecasted annual total? If so, could you provide a hint or point me in the right direction? I'm looking for a way to present this aggregated yearly forecast figure to my users without requiring manual calculations on their part.   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated   I use SAS VA version: 8.5.2,  SAS Viya version: V.03.05                                               ...

Dear SAS Visual Analytics Community,   I’m working with a report in SAS Visual Analytics (version 8.5.2) that includes several control elements, such as filters. The report spans multiple pages and features crosstabs and various graphs.   My goal is to ensure that when users open the report, they are presented with these control elements pre-populated with default values that I’ve specified. Currently, SAS Visual Analytics seems to remember the control values that users applied the last time they accessed the report.   Is there a way to configure the report so that it always opens with these default control settings, regardless of the user's previous interactions?   Thank you for your assistance!   Best regards, Percentile ...

Dear SAS-VA Users,   I am currently developing reports that include statistical distribution analyses within the field of clinical biochemistry. A key feature of these reports is a histogram that displays the distribution of test results. Users can interactively filter the test results using several parameters, and the histogram updates accordingly with the new data.   However, I have encountered a problem: the histograms often display irregular spikes or other types of "artifacts" (please see the image below). I suspect these artifacts arise from the SAS-VA algorithm used for determining bin widths, which leads to these discrepancies. These artifacts undermine the users' confidence in the validity of the distribution analysis and the accompanying calculations. Additionally, SAS-VA provides limited options for adjusting the bin size or range. This issue does not occur with other statistical software I have used.   I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for resolving or minimizing this problem.   I have attached a data file with a single variable containing 64,151 test results. Creating a SAS-VA histogram with these data results in a spiked histogram, as shown below.   Best regards Percentile95 ... View more
