Creating graphs in sas

brophymj — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 17:03:48 GMT

I have a list of 20-30 factors which I would like to create 4 graphs each for. Ideally I would like them in an excel file, each on a separate sheet (four graphs per sheet) but I know that's next too impossible. Exporting to powerpoint and pdf are sufficient alternatives. What I like about Excel is that you can separate each factor into its own workbook. I have started the process off using robslink.com as a reference.

My code is below (which I took from http://www.robslink.com/SAS/democd7/clin1_info.htm)

Couple of points:

I am trying to get one factor right so I have just created a dataset with one factor and dummy values.
I want 4 graphs but using the same graph here 4 times for illustrative purposes
In the reference above, the first few lines of code where he defines htmlvar, I'm not sure what this does.

My main challenges are:

In the link above he creates a bar chart with a line chart on a secondary graph and retains with a "MS excel look". I can reproduce a single graph but I need guidance on how to create 4 on a single page, that are the same size. I'm not sure what the code highlighted in red does.
I want the code to be flexible so that it can handle loads of different factors with different ranges of levels, some numeric (age) and some character (occupation).
The code highlighted in pink is not from the above link. I took it from a different source about exporting 4 graphs to a pdf. it doesn't work properly for me (graphs appear on a pdf but they don't have the format created by robslink code and they are not fitted correctly on the page.
