2013 consumer spending data in BA Basic

PaulBreding

I was just wondering if the consumer spending data has been removed from BA Basic for 2013? I understand that market potential is only for BA Standard, but in 2012 I had access to consumer spending data with BA Basic. I just updated to BA 10.2 with the 2013 data, and now it seems I no longer have access to the consumer spending data. When I try to run one of our custom reports with consumer spending data, I get an error that says, "You have no license to utilize this report." All other demographic data seems to run fine.

Nevermind - I got it to work. Using the documentation that comes with the new data, I determined which of the consumer spending variables comes with the Basic license. Turns out I was using a variable that is only licensed for Standard. In the previous version of BA, it was a little more lenient and would still let you run the report, it would just give you a blank line for any data you didn't have licensed. With the new version of BA, it seems it won't even let you run the report.

It was when running a custom fusion report. If I had included a line in my report for consumer spending on lunch at a fast food restaurant (X1133_A), that line used to be blank when I ran the report because that variable wasn't part of the BA Basic license. But the rest of the report would still run. Now, it seems that the report won't even run if you have a report that includes a variable that you haven't licensed. It just gives you an error message. So I thought maybe something was wrong with my license.

But really, it's no big deal. Now that I've found the full list of variables which are included with the BA Basic license, I have a better idea of what I can & can't include in my custom fusion reports. If I make sure to stick with variables that are included with the Basic license, the fusion report runs just fine.

For anybody else who runs into this situation, the list of variables that are included with each license can be found in the document called 2013 BA Desktop Variable and Report List.xlsx which gets installed in the following folder: ArcGIS\Business Analyst\US_2013\Documentation

Paul,

I will take a look at that and compare both data versions with basic data licenses. Which report in the previous data version could you run just with blank fields for data items only licensed with a standard data license?
