I must admit, I’m glad the 2014 Winter Olympics are over. I’ve spent too many night-time hours glued to the TV. I can now get on with my life. But first, let’s have a little SAS fun with the medal standings.
How do you prefer your summary of medal standings - bar chart or data table?
The following vertical bar chart was created with the GCHART procedure and numerous global statements such as AXIS and LEGEND:
The following data table was created with the REPORT procedure and STYLE= options:
If you like what you see, be sure to check out the code at the end of this blog.

Thank you for this blog post, Michele. If I wanted to include images for the medals, say, underneath the column headers Gold, Silver, and Bronze, would I be able to do that via the respective DEFINE statement (e.g. define _1Gold) or are additional COMPUTER blocks for each column header necessary? Thank you for any suggestions you can provide.
Good thought Daniel! You can add an image to the header using the DEFINE statement plus ODS ESCAPECHAR.
Before the PROC REPORT step, add a statement like the following:
ods escapechar='~';
On the DEFINE statement after the forward slash, add header syntax like the following:
'~{style [postimage="c:\temp\gold.png"] Gold}'
Instead of POSTIMAGE, you can use POSTHTML. POSTHTML is a little more syntax but you can control the size of the image.
'~{style [posthtml=""] Gold}'
If you have never used ODS ESCAPECHAR, be sure to check out the documentation. Great tool for performing in-line formatting.

Thank you for your response, Michele. I will definitely gives this a try. (And please forgive me the "auto-correct" typo regarding the COMPUTE block. It might have been wishful thinking to get additional "COMPUTER blocks" installed in my office.)
