I got a hold of a free trial software of SAS Visual Analytics. So far it is a pretty fun business intelligence reporting tool. Over all it is easy to use as well. Below are a few graphs that you can make out of SAS Visual Analytics.
Created a chart that shows the Product Cost of Sale by Facility Continent
Created a box plot that shows the Product Cost of Sale by Product Line.
Created an automatic chart that shows the Unit Capacity by Transaction Date where the date format is in “Year, Quarter”.
Created a tree map visualization that shows Product Sale by Facility Country.
Created a 3 different graphs using product sale for each country in South America.
Created 2 different graphs of product sale of “Kiosk” product line in Vancouver and in Toronto from 2010 till 2012.
Create a graph showing the two months of 2012 the cost of sale was lowest in Atlanta.
Creating visualization 1 we decided to use categories of Facility Continent, Facility Country, and Product Line. The measures Product Sale, Product Cost of Sale, Product Price (Target), and Product Material Cost.
This bar chart graph allows us to check each Continent of the Product Sale and Product Cost. As you can easily see that there is a high volume of sales in North America.
This graph allows us to dig into North America in United States and lets us drill down deeper into sales into each State. Also we have split brand by Novelty and Toy. As we can see Toy has a high sale volume than Novelty in the overall sale from each State.
This line chart allows us to see quarterly sales in North America, United States region. There is a trend line can be easily determine by showing 4th quarter increases in product sale while 1st quarter seems to be down time on product sales.
This descriptive chart of product sale and product Cost by North America, United States region in a table format that list detail of each product sale and product cost. Easily allow users to see line items of product sale and product cost for product line.
This bar chart allows us to compare material cost, product cost, product sale, and potential price target for North America, United States region. Also to expand on the product sale to certain product line to see what the volume for each category. Figurine and Game seem to have the high volume of sales.
All in all SAS Visual Analytics let’s marketing target peak quarters and allows finance to plan forecasting for next year. Also allowing cost and sales to be broken down from Continent to Regions to even States, it really lets us drill down into the detail of data.
