how to control label for the x-axis

bijayadhikar — Sat, 14 Sep 2024 13:26:45 GMT

I am trying to use PROC SGPLOT with the following dataset. Currently with my script the x-axis goes from 1-52. I want the x-axis to start with week 35 and continue through week 52, then follow with weeks 1 to 34. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

data original_data;
infile datalines dlm="," dsd;
input Surveillance_Week $ weekly_count_curryr rolling_avg_prevyr;
datalines;
35,15,7
36,11,5.7

You'd better post a desired graphic to let me know what you are looking for .

Note that if you use a date value, such as the first day of the week, instead of an arbitrary number (1 - 52), that DATES will sort properly.

Something along these lines:

data original_data;
infile datalines dlm="," dsd;
input Surveillance_Week $ weekly_count_curryr rolling_avg_prevyr;
   if Surveillance_Week in (35:53) then weekdate = intnx('week','01JAN2022'd,Surveillance_Week-1);
   else weekdate =intnx('week','01JAN2023'd,Surveillance_Week-1);
   format weekdate date9.;
datalines;

proc sgplot data=original_data;
vbar weekdate / response=weekly_count_curryr
      datalabel

   xaxis label="Surveillance Week" values= ('21AUG2022'd to '20AUG2023'd by week)

   ;
   yaxis label="count" grid; /* Keeps horizontal grid lines */
   keylegend / position=topright across=1;
   format weekdate yyweeku3.;
run;

Note that it is not helpful to show a data set that does not match that used by the procedure. Your Original_data does not have have half the variables used in the plot which is using COMB_ADJUSTED

@ballardw thanks very much for providing some useful tips. Noted. Correct, I did not include all vars thinking may not be needed. All is good.
