Hi,

 

New to SAS.  I need an idea on where to get started on creating a line graph based on #of subjects (y-axis) & month (x-axis). Shoud I use proc sgplot? Sorry, no example data here. Thanks!

proc sgplot data=sortedClass noautolegend;
where sex="M";
reg x=height y=weight / lineattrs=(pattern=shortdash);
series x=height y=weight;
yaxis grid;

Find the plot you like and then look at the example code. SGPLOT is the right place to start.

One large hint if you have not worked with SAS and dates much: make sure that your "month" is actually a SAS date, meaning a numeric value with a SAS format applied that displays the date as desired.

Other forms of "date-like values" will either not sort properly (generally) or often have tickmarks way out of relation to as needed.
