Here’s a quick tip for today. But I’m hearing some rumors that a colleague (who is an SAS OLAP wizard) is planning to post some OLAP tips . If you have a topic idea – send me an email using the envelope icon at the bottom of the page or just post a comment. Look forward to hearing some of your suggestions! SAS Information Map Studio Errors When you create a filter for a character data item in SAS Information Map Studio, you may get an error message that the filter contains an invalid value. The message is similar to the following: When you are manually adding filter values, make sure you put quote marks around the value. Also – make sure you the value is spelled exactly as shown in the data. Notice that I put both of these values in single quotes. In the upcoming Building Business Intelligence with SAS book, you can learn more about using SAS Information Map Studio, SAS Stored Process, and building dashboard using the SAS BI Dashboard.
