Here's a sample of the data I  have:

letter band
A 4
B 3
A 7
C 2
C 7
D 1
F 8
A 10

 

I want 5 vertical stacked bar graphs. Each bar (A,B,C,D,F) will have 10 subcategories (1 - 10) that shows the frequency of each band in each letter category (A - F)

Here are some options for you.

 

ods graphics / height=1000 width=500;
proc sgplot data=work.comm;
 vbar letter / response=frequency stat=sum group=band 
   groupdisplay=stack grouporder=ascending barwidth=.5;
run;

/* cluster instead of stack */
ods graphics / height=800 width=500;
proc sgplot data=work.comm;
 vbar letter / response=frequency stat=sum group=band 
   groupdisplay=cluster grouporder=ascending barwidth=.7;
run;

/* Horizontal to go for a wide view */
ods graphics / width=1200 height=500;
proc sgplot data=work.comm;
 hbar letter / response=frequency stat=sum group=band 
   groupdisplay=stack grouporder=ascending barwidth=.5;
run;

I think you want to look at PROC SGPLOT and the VBAR statement. Use Group= and GroupDisplay=Stack.  Examples here in this blog post.

Maybe i'm on the wrong track. I want a visual for the chart below. Letter has 5 values (A B C D F). I want to show that the relative size of each band, i.e. bands 5 and 6 represent the vast majority. (as is the case with the other letters)

 

 

 

 

letter band Frequency Percent Cumulative
Frequency
Cumulative
Percent
A 3 1 0.03 1 0.03
A 4 4 0.10 5 0.13
A 5 728 19.00 733 19.13
A 6 859 22.42 1592 41.56
A 7 15 0.39 1607 41.95
A 9 1 0.03 1608 41.97
B 2 1 0.03 1609 42.00
B 3 1 0.03 1610 42.03
B 4 5 0.13 1615 42.16
B 5 670 17.49 2285 59.65
B 6 684 17.85 2969 77.50
C 2 1 0.03 2970 77.53
C 4 8 0.21 2978 77.73
C 5 288 7.52 3266 85.25
C 6 287 7.49 3553 92.74
D 4 2 0.05 3555 92.80
D 5 98 2.56 3653 95.35
D 6 92 2.40 3745 97.76
F 4 2 0.05 3747 97.81
F 5 43 1.12 3790 98.93
F 6 41 1.07 3831 100.00
Frequency Missing = 809
