fuel gauge chart?

[deleted_user]

My boss saw a presentation done in SAS or EG where they had a fuel gauge chart.

Does such a chart exist in SAS? Or is there anything similar

I think that you are talking about the BI Dashboard,

ug! except I don't know if we have the BI dashboard

[deleted_user]

OK we do have it. However, the administrator has not used SAS or EG and does not know how to create a dashboard.

If the administrator creates a dashboard can other make changes to it or is this something that only the sas administrator can do?

From the SAS support http://support.sas.com/ website, two links on this topic for consideration and review:

SAS BI Dashboard
SAS BI Dashboard 4.2 (also links for 3.1):

New Products in SAS 9.1.3: SAS BI Dashboard:

sas 9.2 has nice executive charts in proc gkpi - includes traffic lights and fuel guages

Don't know if it is leveraged directly in more recent version of enterprise guide (I'm on 4.1) - worse case, you could write code to run proc gkpi

See sas/graph 9.2 manual

Agreed with all the responses: either SAS BI Dashboard or write you own PROC GKPI code (then, you just need SAS/GRAPH licensed, which virtually everyone who uses EG already has). I don't see any KPI tasks in EG 4.2 -- I have no doubt they'll make it into the next major version of EG. So for now, you'll have to write code if you want to go that direction.

Perhaps this can help:
