Vbox in SGPLOT

Tz — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 06:43:06 GMT

Hi all.

I created a boxplot using SGPLOT:

proc sgplot data=Sample;

vbox CDRSUM / connect=median category=NACCFDYSYear group=cases_A__control_B;

run;

I want to add the number of available observations for each year to the bars.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

What do you mean by 'available observations'?

Where should the number appear? Inside the bar? The number will be pretty small.

It is always a good idea to discuss items in terms of the VARIABLE names. We really do not know anything that tells us "observations for each year" or which variable actually is a year.

I guess you may be asking about the number of observations for NACCFDYSYear.

Also, where you want it the values to appear can make a big difference in approach.

If placing the value near the Xaxis is appropriate then perhaps:

xaxistable  NACCFDYSYear    /stat=freq;

I need the number to be above the bar. Thanks

Thanks for helping me. I tried xaxistable and recieved the following:

WARNING: The AXISTABLE supports only SUM and MEAN statistics when a bar

chart, line chart, or dot plot is not used. The SUM statistic will

be used by default.

So freq cannot be used with a box plot

The AXISTABLE cannot give frequencies for a box plot. Any other suggestions? Thanks
