I want to create a bar chart as follows with the following data. I knew that we can accomplish this using proc sgplot but I'm not certain to create a chart for each observation. Appreciate if someone of you help me here.

 

Data preparation:

 

data test;
  length name average_talk_time_answered_calls Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls $200;
  name='Van der Haeghen, Wendye (E003983)';
  Average_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls='116,3953488';
 Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls='290,4883721';output; 
  name='Verhaeghe, Johny (E002902)';
  Average_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls='86,66666667';
  Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls='2,333333333';output;
;
run; 

data temp(drop=Average_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls) ;
set test;
Avg_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls=input(tranwrd(Average_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls,',','.'),best.);
Avg_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls=input(tranwrd(Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls,',','.'),best.);
run;

Dataset:

 

name Avg_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls Avg_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls
Van der Haeghen, Wendye (E003983) 1.163.953.488 2.904.883.721
Verhaeghe, Johny (E002902) 8.666.666.667 2.333.333.333

Here's how I made it with SGPLOT.  Just had to change your dataset around a touch.

 

data test;
  length name average_talk_time_answered_calls Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls $200;
  name='Van der Haeghen, Wendye (E003983)';
  Average_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls='116,3953488';
 Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls='290,4883721';output; 
  name='Verhaeghe, Johny (E002902)';
  Average_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls='86,66666667';
  Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls='2,333333333';output;
;
run; 

data temp(drop=Average_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls) ;
set test;
Avg_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls=input(tranwrd(Average_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls,',','.'),best.);
Avg_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls=input(tranwrd(Average_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls,',','.'),best.);
run;

data plot;
    set temp;
    length category $100.;
    category='Average Talk Time Answered Calls';time=Avg_Talk_Time_Answered_Calls;output;
    category='Average ACW Time Answered Calls';time=Avg_ACW_Time_Answered_Calls;output;
run;


ods graphics / reset width=10in;
title 'Avg Talk Time (sec), ACW Talk Time (sec) Calls Answered';
proc sgplot data=plot;
     vbar name / response=time group=category groupdisplay=cluster grouporder=descending;
     keylegend / position=topright location=inside down=2 title='';
     refline 'Van der Haeghen, Wendye (E003983)' / axis=x discreteoffset=0.5 lineattrs=(color=black pattern=1);
     yaxis min=0 max=350 values=(0 to 350 by 50) grid gridattrs=(color=black pattern=solid) display=(nolabel) offsetmin=0 offsetmax=0;
     xaxis display=(nolabel) offsetmin=0.3 offsetmax=0.3;
run;

SGPLOT only allows clustered or stacked bar charts. Neither of those is what you show as the desired output where person #1 is on the left, and person #2 is on the right.

 

If you want clustered or stacked bar charts, then yes this is possible.

Could you please help me with the procedure which creates the desired output?

As I said, SGPLOT cannot produce the output you asked for.

Could you please provide some example data in the form of a data step so we can actually test code with data?

OR reference a SAS supplied data set in the SASHELP library that may be able to demonstrate similar data types and desired behavior for that data set.

 

You desired output picture makes me suspect SGPANEL might be possible but without data to test I'm afraid that's as far as I want to go.

The data is in their code in the original post. I made the graph in SGPLOT in another reply if you want to see it.

Thank you for the code. Is there any way that you can produce a similar
chart in Proc report or proc tabulate?

@Babloo SGPLOT is included in SAS BASE, you should be able to run @JeffMeyers code without issues.

I am afraid I would have to disagree with you there.  Whilst the base plot would not do what is required, there is nothing to say that you cannot overplot each.  So essentially you would create a four group formatted value:

Wendy, Average talk time = 1

Wendy, Average ACW = 2

Johny, Average talk time = 4

Johny, Average ACW = 5

Then you would graph this based on a non displayed X Axis, with values = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6

At position x=3 you would draw a refence line.

 

You woul dneed to fiddle a bit with the legend, maybe just text draw the two bits.

With a different data structure, proc gchart (as used by the bar chart wizard in EG) can produce something similar:

data have;
infile cards dsd dlm=' ';
input person :$50. type :$20. value :commax20.;
cards;
"Van der Haeghen, Wendye (E003983)" avg_talk_time 116,3953488
"Van der Haeghen, Wendye (E003983)" avg_acw_time 290,4883721
"Verhaeghe, Johny (E002902)" avg_talk_time 86,66666667
"Verhaeghe, Johny (E002902)" avg_acw_time 2,333333333
;
run;

PROC GCHART DATA=have
;
  VBAR 
   person
 /
  SUMVAR=value
  GROUP=type
  CLIPREF
    SPACE=0
FRAME  TYPE=SUM
  COUTLINE=BLACK
  RAXIS=AXIS1
  MAXIS=AXIS2
PATTERNID=MIDPOINT
;
run;

In the wizard, the diagram column is person, bars are grouped by type, and value is used as "sum of".

Thank you for the code. Is there any way that we try with proc freq except the coloring part? I just noticed that I do not licensed for graphical procedures.

SGPLOT does not require a SAS/GRAPH license and is more powerful.

I received the following error message after executing the proc sgplot code. Is that not a license issue?

 

53         proc sgplot data=plot;
ERROR: The SAS/GRAPH product with which SGPLOT (2) is associated is either not licensed for your system or the product license has 
       expired. Please contact your SAS installation representative.
