Here is my code for the graph:

ods graphics on / width=10in height=5in ;

goptions htext=15pt ;

title h=15pt "Counts";

proc sgplot data=work.monthly_no_HU_merged;

series x=date y=count/ lineattrs=(color=firebrick thickness=2.5);

xaxis valueattrs=(size=7pt) label="Month/Year" labelattrs=(size=10pt) interval=quarter minor valuesformat=monyy5.;

yaxis valueattrs=(size=10pt) label="#" grid labelattrs=(size=12pt) values=(0 to 100 by 5);

run;

title;
