At the risk of offending people, I will state my opinion that the gray gradients in the 2D plot above convey no information in displaying this data, and so it meets the definition of "chartjunk". In fact, at that Wikipedia link there is a similar plot where color gradients are inserted into a map of North Macedonia, which serve no useful purpose, similar to the gray gradients in the 2D bar chart above. ...

SAS can handle numbers up to about 15 digits without loss of precision. After that you will lose precision. You can use PROC DS2 to handle numbers with twice the normal precision. ... View more

I had originally created one with PROC SGPLOT + VBAR as everyone suggested (and it would be my preference) but the graph was seen as too plain. You should point out that 2D charts are more readable and less likely to produce confusion on the part of the person who is viewing the chart; compared to a 3D chart.

I think the answer is included in the part of the blog you quoted.   "we will need to reverse the relationships to match our desired state"   So, in a SAS DATA step before you run PROC GRADBOOST, in your target variable, change 0 to 1, and 1 to 0. ... View more

Whenever I think about learning Git, I read up on it, and find that I don't understand the words used (and there are many of them) and a long and arduous process to get started. So for example, you list 4 pre-requisites and I don't know if I have any of those, nor do I even understand what the words in the prerequisites mean. Could you "de-mistify" this even further?   I think I understand the basic benefit of version control of software. ... View more

I think the FREQ option in PROC GCHART VBAR3D statement will work.   Generally speaking, 3D charts are a misleading way to display data. See https://medium.com/@purohitpraveen/data-vizualization-why-3d-charts-are-a-terrible-idea-32657fbb928e, You might want to consider the regular old 2D VBAR charts. ... View more

I have fixed a few things here, perhaps this is all of the things that are wrong, or perhaps not, you didn't really tell us what is wrong, and you SHOULD tell us what is wrong.   data SRT; infile datalines dlmstr='~' truncover; input ProjID $ Manager :$15. Budget CompletionPercent; datalines; P001~James Lee~100000~85 P002~Sophia Ray~120000~90 P003~Michael Chen~75 P004~Emma Stone~95000~. P005~Olivia Park~110000~88 ;   SAS doesn't really know what separates the fields in your data, the default is a space, but that won't work because the field MANAGER must contain a space. So in this example, I have forced the character ~ to be used as the separator between the fields. ... View more
