Jian:

Short answer: if you want to make a graph, use Excel.  If you want to make 100 graphs, use SAS/GRAPH.

Longer answer: SAS/GRAPH gives you control over all aspects of the output.  It also allows you to make much more complicated graphs than Excel does, custom-designed graphs, and so on.  And it works on many platforms.

If you expect to make many similar graphs, either in a batch or repeatedly over time, SAS/GRAPH will save you a great deal of effort in the long run.

It's hard to use SAS/Graph. Excel would be much easier to use, so is it
worth to learn SAS/Graph?
