In this SAS demo, I demonstrate how to prompt for a date range in a SAS Visual Analytics report. We walk through how to configure prompts using four types of control objects:

Then we cover how to define parameters and configure filters for report objects using the date prompted boundaries. These techniques are demonstrated using SAS Viya 3.4 SAS Visual Analytics 8.4 but can be applied to earlier releases.

I've also written accompanying articles in a four-part series. Below the video see the links to the articles and their corresponding timestamps in the video.
