How to get to my data in ODS graphics designer

proctice — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 21:47:51 GMT

I am trying ODS Graphics Designer for the first time because I need a single graph with several stacked bar charts butterflied with numbers facing left and percents adding to 100 facing right.

My first problem is that I can't figure out how make a library pointing to my data. I may need to ask separate questions about creating the graph itself later, but could you get me started by telling me how to issue a libname statement or whatever the equivalent is in the designer. Thanks.

Note: I see the assign data window, but it only lists existing libraries like SASHELP and SASUSER. I need to access the rest of my computer.

The easiest way is to set up a libname to your data in SAS before you start Designer. All active libnames from SAS will be available in Designer after it starts.
