Controlling percentage format in proc Chart

NeilH — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 18:59:52 GMT

Hello -

Is there a way that I can control the formatting of how the percentages are displayed ('pct') to the right of each horizontal bar? It defaults to two decimal places and I would prefer it shows just one.

Thank you.

Neil

goptions border xpixels=1000 ypixels=200;
axis1 label=("Frequency");
axis2 label=("Student Location");

proc gchart data=ips.allvars1;
hbar Q7770 /
pct
descending
axis=axis1 maxis=axis2;
run;

In the very old PROC CHART, you should be able to add a format in the AXIS1 statement using the FORMAT= option.

You would be wise to start moving your work to the much newer (and feature packed) PROC SGPLOT.

Thank you. The specifics of the syntax of these graph options gets tricky.
