Using ODS RTF/PDF to place tables and/or graphs side-to-side?

[BigPete]

In case you don't feel comfortable looking at the attachments, you can copy, paste, and run the code you see below. It'll spit out the same file. I'm trying to place the table and graph on the same line and make sure they're left justified. Seems that the OPTIONS NOCENTER didn't work with the bar chart.

The closest I tried is adding the ODS RTF COLUMNS=2 option right before PROC REPORT and ODS RTF COLUMNS=1 after PROC SGPLOT. Even so, it puts everything in 2 columns when I prefer just the visuals and you'll see that bar chart center justified in the second column.

Any idea how I can place the table and bar chart 1 space apart on the same line? I know I can just simply do it myself manually in Word, but how would I do it via SAS especially if I was to automate a mass file production?

With ODS LAYOUT you can create regions that are side by side with PDF, not RTF, output. I don't use PDF much so can't point to anything except the examples in the online help.

[BigPete]

Looks like pulling a 2-column for only a part of page rather than whole is doable through ODS RTF. However, I'm lost on where would be good spots to wedge in ODS RTF COLUMNS=1 and ODS RTF COLUMNS=2 to put together only the table and chart side-to-side. Any idea?

When you refer to the attached RTF, I sort of managed to make a selective 2-column section.

[BigPete]

I notice it's much more easily achievable through ODS PDF and ODS LAYOUT mix. A hiccup or two remaining is I'm seeing white horizontal streaks in my table. The other is I had to wedge in ods pdf text="^{newline 5}"; to ensure proper space between end of ODS LAYOUT and next section in the PDF. What can be done to at least eliminate those streaks?

I think the streaks in your output table might be due to cellpadding set to 0 in the table style of your Test1 style.

I ran your code and changed cellpadding to 3 pt.  The white horizontal streaks disappeared.

Thank you so much ballardw and Suzanne 🙂
