For the purpose of the scenario in this book, you are a data analyst at a global furniture company. Your manager has asked you for various reports on the data, which you have created. However, you would like to present the information in a more visually pleasing way, and you want to display only the information that is required. This is the first of several presentations of the data, so you would like to save the information in a way that is easy to get to and modify if changes are needed. Your SAS session is being run in the SAS windowing environment in Windows.
