I have a dataset coded into sas. I have separated my dataset to only include points within the first phase. I am now wondering how to structure the xchart statement. It asks for xchart then process*subgroup. Attached are pictures of my table of data points and I was wondering how to code these data points into an xchart. As you can see I have 44 rows and 20 subgroup variables.
Some of us are not able to download attachments. Also, data should be provided as text via SAS data step code. We can't work from data in a PDF file.
Have you checked the documentation and examples for the XCHART in PROC SHEWHART?
https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.4/qcug/qcug_shewhart_sect329.htm
The data itself isnt important just included to show you the basic data I was working with. I have looked at the example thank you, but when I try using it is a raw dataset something is wrong so I was trying to leave it as the imported file from excel.
I can't see the data. I cannot download attachments. Provide the data (or a portion of it) as text in SAS data step code.
... but when I try using it is a raw dataset something is wrong ...
Show us the code you tried.

The code above is pasted like that, but the code I have written has the data lined equally in rows and columns. Yet the data is still not registering and only one or two numbers is appearing after the code is finished.
Now show the code you tried to use to get an XCHART.
Let me see ... you want the x-bar at each individual sample point to be computed from the 20 numbers shown for each sample. Is that correct?
You said:
The problem is within how I'm entering my data though, because the xchart wont go through since the data isn't even recognized for some reason. I have no idea how its entered wrong or what I'm doing wrong.
Stop. We don't know what you are doing that will cause something to happen incorrectly. You have to stop telling us that something isn't working and then provide no other details. You have to SHOW US what isn't working. If there are errors in the LOG, show us the ENTIRE log. If the output is not correct, show us a screen capture of the incorrect output, and then tell us what you think it should be.
You can make screen captures of output and include them in your reply by clicking on the "Insert Photos" icon. You can include LOG as text by clicking on the </> icon and pasting the text into the window that appears.
The output is not recognizing any of the values that I have inputted
Please do always (as in ALWAYS) post logs by copy/pasting the text into a window opened with this button:
Your datalines use tabs as delimiter, so add an INFILE statement:
infile datalines dlm="09"x dsd truncover;
