Post 3 Quick Steps for Using External Links to Enrich Your SAS VA Report appeared first on BI Notes for SAS Software Users.

If you read my Thanks for the Negative Tweets Josh post on LinkedIn then you know that I’ve been working on some Twitter reports in SAS Visual Analytics. My goal is to have a set of reports that I can use for demos, training, blog posts, web-inars, and even eBooks. In my current draft the biggest challenge is determining what Twitter data tells an interesting story and provides …

What is the difference in SAS Visual Analytics and SAS Enterprise Guide?

by Tricia Aanderud • September 20, 2015 • Comments Off

Those considering moving to SAS Visual Analytics often quiz me about how it is different from SAS Enterprise Guide. While SAS Enterprise Guide can duplicate some SAS Visual Analytics functionality – it’s not the same. This post I’m going to explore the principal purpose of each tool to help explain how they are alike and different.

What is SAS Enterprise Guide?

SAS Enterprise Guide (EG) is a development …

Visual Analytics: 3 Tips for Brilliant Bubbles in Your Geospatial Data

by Tricia Aanderud • September 13, 2015 • Comments Off

I like bubble charts – even though they get a lot flack for being difficult to understand. These charts can pack a lot of data into a few variables. I agree the charts can be difficult for layperson to understand but it doesn’t seem true for the geo bubble maps. Possibly it’s because the user sees the map and understands its related to location. Here’s …

Visual Analytics: Use Geo Regional Maps for Overall Comparisons

by Tricia Aanderud • September 6, 2015 • Comments Off

Before I started with SAS Visual Analytics, I used PROC GMAP to create choropleth maps (or geo regional maps). The maps worked for what I needed but were largely uninspired and somewhat difficult to build. I admit I never did master the skill. However, after learning to use SAS Visual Analytics geospatial objects became my favorite datavis. This is part 3 of a series about geospatial …

SAS Visual Analytics: Get to the Point with a Geo Coordinate Map

by Tricia Aanderud • August 30, 2015 • Comments Off

Perhaps you’ve heard people talk about tornado alley – it’s an area down the middle of the US where tornadoes occur. Tornadoes are powerful storms – capable of sending a 2×4 wood board through a car door – scary. In the first post of this series, I noted that successful geospatial data visualizations have geography as a character in the data story. If we wanted …

SAS VA: Is Location just a Distracting Character in Your Dataviz?

by Tricia Aanderud • August 24, 2015 • Comments Off

In my high school Performance Art class, our teacher, Mr. Kennedy, was constantly reminding us that when you have characters on stage the focus must remain on the central action. If you have non-speaking role then you cannot draw attention to yourself. For instance, you wouldn’t tap your foot, play with your hair or wave to the audience members. This concept can translate into a data …

Do You KISS Your Line Charts?

by Tricia Aanderud • August 5, 2015 • Comments Off

Probably you have heard the Keep It Simple Sweetie (KISS) principle stated hundreds of times – mainly because it is true. Keep your message simple and straightforward by removing any unnecessary visual clutter. Your job is to direct the viewer’s attention to what is important about the message. Nothing could be more true with a line chart.

Line charts allow you to see trends over time. …

Hit Your IT Knowledge Targets!

by Guest Post • June 30, 2015 • Comments Off

What I love most about the SAS community is the willingness to share information. I asked Tom Karl – how do you stay current with the complete deluge of new tools (Hadoop, Spark) and methods that are streaming toward you all the time. He offered some advice and then I strong-armed (playground technique!) him into writing a blog post! And yes Tom – you are invited …
