I can get part of the way there.  The key is to insert unique blanks into the list of companies.  Each unique blank is made up of a leading and trailing nsbp, and increasing number of blanks.  To retain data order, the companies have to be indexed by numeric id, and then formatted to show company name.  Here is the graph and code.  I am sure it can be improved upon. One problem is the "0.0" stat shown for the gaps.  Maybe you can use Annotate to label the bars near the top, and not label the gaps. proc format;   value company   1 = 'Company 1'   2 = 'Company 2'   3 = 'Company 3'   4 = 'A0'x ' ' 'A0'x   5 = 'Company 4'   6 = 'Company 5'   7 = 'Company 6'   8 = 'Company 7'   9 = 'Company 8'   10 = 'A0'x '  ' 'A0'x   11 = 'Company 9'   12 = 'Company 10';   run; data companies;   length Type $12;   format i Company.;   drop r1 r2;   format response 3.1;   do i=1 to 12;     r1=2+2*ranuni(2);     r2=3+2*ranuni(2);     if i in (4 10) then do;       r1=.; r2=.;     end;    Type="Other"; Response=r1;output;    Type="Engineering"; Response=r2;output;   end; run; goptions reset=all device=png vsize=6in hsize=4in htext=8pt          gsfname=graphout gsfmode=replace noimageprint; filename graphout 'C:\Work\Blogs\Communities\images\BarBreakGroupGChart.png'; axis1 label=none value=none major=none minor=none; axis2 label=none major=none minor=none; proc gchart data=companies;   hbar type / sumvar=response group=i subgroup=type        maxis=axis1 raxis=axis1 gaxis=axis2 outside=sum sumlabel=none;   run; ...

With  SAS 9.3 SGPLOT procedure you can get a reasonable facsimile.  You could even do the overlapping bars.  Do you have SAS 9.3? ... View more

I assume you are using GTL because you want to overlay scatters on bars.  Else you could use SGPLOT. If the statement does not have a GROUP option, all elements use the GRAPHDATADEFAULT style element.  So, all bars will be light blue, and all markers will be black (for style=LISTING).  If the statement uses the GROUP option, then the colors are derived from the GraphData1-N style elements.  Plots with large filled areas (bars, bands) use the COLOR attribute from the style element.  The Markers and Lines use the CONTRASTCOLOR attributes. proc template;   define statgraph class;     begingraph;       entrytitle 'Weight by Height for Male Students';       layout overlay;         barchart x=name y=height / group=name;         scatterplot x=name y=height / group=name markerattrs=(symbol=circlefilled size=15);       endlayout;     endgraph;   end; run; ods html close; ods listing; ods graphics / reset width=6in height=3in imagename='class'; proc sgrender data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='M')) template=class; run; ...

You really need to look at the supported syntax for the statements.  There is no option called GROUP= inside the MARKERATTRS option. If you want both the bar and the scatter to use the same three colors from your custom style, remove the CYCLEATTRS option on the LAYOUT OVERLAY statement and use GROUP=COLOR_SCHEME on the scatterPlot.  I think that will work. ...

If it is important to retain the scale for the days along the X axis, then I suggest use SGPLOT procedure, with DAYn. format for X variable.  You can draw reflines at each month end for the separators.  With SAS 9.3, you can add the month names using SGAnnotate. If scale for the dates on x axis is not critical, you could use the SGPANEL procedure.  Extract monthname as a separate column and use it as the PANELBY variable with LAYOUT=COLUMNLATTICE, and ColumnHeaderPosition=bottom.  Use a SCATTER plot with X=date with DAYn. format. With SGPANEL solution, you may get data range in each column only to the extend you have data, and each cell will be of equal width.  To force the dates in each column to span 1-30 (or 28 or 31), you could use try using another column that has data for those dates, and use that as a scatter ovarlay with markersize=0.  I think that may force the correct dates on each axis. If you are having problems, attach your data, and I can try it out. ... View more

You can also try using SGPLOT procedure, with an overlay of a VBAR and VLINE.  Make sure the data is in the correct order in the data set, and set the XAXIS discrete order to data. ... View more
