A few months ago I wrote a blog entry titled "SAS/GRAPH "SG" Procedures--Not Just for Statisticians!" It was so well received that I was invited to open for Celine Dion at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas! Well, not really, but I was invited (along with co-blogger Cynthia Zender) to give the presentation "Introduction to ODS Graphics for the Non-Statistician" at SAS Global Forum 2011 in Las Vegas. The presentation is a greatly expanded version of the blog posting that shows you how to use the SGPLOT, SGPANEL, and SGSCATTER procedures and the interactive ODS Graphics Designer to create commonly-used business charts and plots.

Here are a few examples of the graphs that you can easily produce:

So, if you're attending SAS Global Forum, please come by and pick up a few tips. If you're unable to attend, the full paper will be available in the Conference Proceedings, and I'll give my regards to Celine for you!
