Hi
I am a new user for SAS ( installed SAS EG 7,1 in last 2 weeks ). And now trying to familriaze with the software.
However - I have been using JMP software for many years and current version I have is JMP 11. May I know is there any way that SAS EG can do the following: ( at least this is what I notice so far )
1) Variability chart of many levels...
2) Categorical analysis ( Share chart / Frequency chart / etc ..
Thanks...

Hi @azlanfaizal - welcome to the world of SAS!
JMP is a highly visual tool with many innovative visualization techniques built-in, available via point-and-click. SAS (and EG -- as an interface to SAS) can achieve some of these visualizations only by writing specific program code to prep the data and render the graphs.
I suggest that you begin with what's easily done in EG. Check out the Table Analysis task and One-Way Frequencies task, and also dig into the simple syntax for PROC FREQ. There are several built-in graphics that PROC FREQ can produce (freq charts, Mosiac plots) that are similar to your examples, but of course -- they are different.
For your variability chart you might look at the Summary Tables task (PROC TABULATE) -- but that's more about numbers than it is about visualizations. Also take a look through the many examples that @Jay54 offers on the Graphically Speaking blog. You might find something that comes close to what you're looking for with relatively simple SGPLOT code.
It's finally time to hack! Remember to visit the SAS Hacker's Hub regularly for news and updates.
