Skipping dates on Proc Sgplot

HabAM — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 22:53:43 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to skip certain dates on the x-axis, see code below.

proc sgplot data=finaldata;
vbar date;
xaxis label='Event date' values=('10Dec2018'd to '01Jun2019'd by week);
yaxis label='Number of events' values=(0 to 6 by 2) offsetmin=0;
run;

Date has values:

10Dec2018

02Feb2019

05Feb2019

09Feb2019

22Feb2019

01Mar2019

11Mar2019

22May2019

25May2019

I want to skip the months with no values but still space it out by specified ticks

thanks in advance

So you want one tick per date in the data, evenly spaced?

Not really understand what you need.

Try range= option.

xaxis label='Event date' range=('10Dec2018'd - '01Jan2019'd , '01May2019'd- '01Jun2019'd);

I didn't know I could specify multiple ranges values as above. Thanks
