Goal: Create a chart for each year, where each chart x-axis is ordered according to a custom ordering.
Questions:
* I am close with SGPANEL, but I actually don't want a panel, I want one chart per year, how can I adjust this using the SG plot methods?
* How can I do this with PROC GChart? (I am learning SAS, so knowing both ways would be an advantage ... )
* Is it possible to get the unformatted value from a value formatted with a custom format (defined with PROC FORMAT)?

Here is the SGPLOT code to use with your data processing:
proc sgplot data=one;
by year;
xaxis label = 'State' discreteorder=data;
yaxis label = 'Sales';
vbar State / response=Sales;
run;
Here is the SGPLOT code to use with your data processing:
proc sgplot data=one;
by year;
xaxis label = 'State' discreteorder=data;
yaxis label = 'Sales';
vbar State / response=Sales;
run;
