VBAR with 2 bars and three lines (separate the bars)

DME790 — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 04:45:43 GMT

Hi All,

I have created a combo graph that has two bars and three lines, however the second bar sits behind the first one.

How do I get them to sit side by side to each other?

Any help appreciated.

Re: VBAR with 2 bars and three lines (separate the bars)

This task is a lot easier if you gather your Trans A/B variables in one variable Trans and create some categorical variable AorB that has values A/B.

Then use a single VBAR Statement and specify group=AorB and groupdisplay=cluster

Something like this? Use VBARPARM instead of VBAR and SERIES instead of VLINE
