The original graph is generated from Excel with clustered column plot. Looks like:
Now I try to plot it with SAS. The job is not finished. Still to make improvement with it.
proc import datafile="c:\sasdata\lab2a.xls"
out=restaurant
dbms=excel replace;
sheet="restaurant";
getnames=yes;
run;
proc datasets;
modify restaurant;
rename quality_rating=qty_rate meal_price____=meal_p;
run;
data restaurant;
set restaurant;
if 10 <= meal_p < 19 then meal='A';
else if 19 <= meal_p < 29 then meal='B';
else if 29 <= meal_p < 39 then meal='C';
else meal='D';
run;
proc sort data=restaurant;
by qty_rate meal;
run;
data restnew;
set restaurant;
by qty_rate meal;
retain i;
if first.meal or first.meal then i=1;
else i=i+1;
if last.qty_rate or last.meal then output;
run;
proc print data=restnew;
