How to create a stacked waterfall chart

[BenB]

I would like to know how I can create a stacked waterfall chart using proc template (waterfallchart) and sgrender.  I can use another graphing procedure if it allows me to save the image as a file (I use this image for a website).  I have seen the other approaches (clear/white bar chart, also using annotate with gplot) but those seem to be workarounds before the waterfall chart option in 9.3.

My data consists of stages (aka categories, 4 of them) and types (2) of them.  Any suggestions?

For reference, here is the data as well as procedures.  The final output should look something like the picture attached (the values do not match the datasets below, ignore that).

• Categories with stacked types
• Labels for size of bars
• Can save as image file for use elsewhere

Thanks.

DATA (ignore the differences in stage values, I merely changed the values even though the four possibilities remain the same)

stage	type	value
Prev. Open	Non-Audit/Comp	2
Prev. Open	Audit/Comp	0
New	Non-Audit/Comp	6
New	Audit/Comp	15
Completed	Audit/Comp	12
Completed	Non-Audit/Comp	4
Remaining	Audit/Comp	3
Remaining	Non-Audit/Comp	4

DATA USED IN PROC TEMPLATE

stage	N	Y
outstanding_prj	2	0
new_prj	6	15
completed_prj	4	12
remaining_prj	4	3

PROC TEMPLATE

%let opts = linearopts=(viewmin=0 viewmax=&max_hght tickvaluesequence=(start=0 end=&max_hght increment=5));* tickvaluelist=(-0.1 0 0.1)) offsetmin=0.1 offsetmax=0.1;

proc template;

  define statgraph waterfallchart;

    begingraph;

      layout overlay / yaxisopts=(&opts);

        waterfallchart category=stage response=total /

          colorgroup=type barlabel=true

   display=(fill)

          name="Project Throughput" dataskin=gloss;* filltype=gradient;

      endlayout;

    endgraph;

  end;

run;

Bump! I feel the OP, tired of "clear/white bar", wanting to know if there are other ways.
