I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to SAS procedures related to graphs. I would like to know what SAS procedure, if any, I can use to produce a graph in the format attached. It contains two series graphed vertically as bars and three reference lines. I have used proc gbarline for other graphs that contain only one vertical series and have two reference lines. However, I am having difficulty getting that to work with the two series I need to graph. Also, any help with the SAS code is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Instead of plotting two separate series it may be better to create a group variable to define which value is associated with the series.
With SGPLOT you would have a VBAR statement using that group variable. One example is here: http://support.sas.com/kb/43/731.html
Also you can add one or more REFLINE statements, which seem more appropriate from your example than a series.
A statement like:
Refline 90 / axis=y Label='Minimum Goal' labelloc=outside;
places a line across the graph at a value of 90 and places a label outside the graph with the text.

Another way to make the same program work with multiple reference lines is to add the reference values to a column ( say A) in your data. Then, you can use the column in thr REFLINE stmt: refline a; This works well if you have a panel, and want different reference lines by the panel variable (SGPANEL).
Thank you Sanjay. This was helpful!
