fuel gauge chart?

deleted_user — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:47:35 GMT

My boss saw a presentation done in SAS or EG where they had a fuel gauge chart.

Does such a chart exist in SAS? Or is there anything similar

I think that you are talking about the BI Dashboard,

OK we do have it. However, the administrator has not used SAS or EG and does not know how to create a dashboard.

If the administrator creates a dashboard can other make changes to it or is this something that only the sas administrator can do?

From the SAS support http://support.sas.com/ website, two links on this topic for consideration and review:

SAS BI Dashboard
SAS BI Dashboard 4.2 (also links for 3.1):

sas 9.2 has nice executive charts in proc gkpi - includes traffic lights and fuel guages

Don't know if it is leveraged directly in more recent version of enterprise guide (I'm on 4.1) - worse case, you could write code to run proc gkpi

See sas/graph 9.2 manual

Agreed with all the responses: either SAS BI Dashboard or write you own PROC GKPI code (then, you just need SAS/GRAPH licensed, which virtually everyone who uses EG already has). I don't see any KPI tasks in EG 4.2 -- I have no doubt they'll make it into the next major version of EG. So for now, you'll have to write code if you want to go that direction.
