Reverse left and right axes on bar chart with line overlay-proc gbarline

Corey — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 19:02:40 GMT

Hi,

I'm creating a bar chart with a line overlay using proc gbarline in SAS 9.2. The graphs found in this paper are representative examples of what I'm doing:

Is there anyway to switch the left and right axes? In other words, I'd like the left axis to be % drop shipments and the right axis to be number of orders.

Thank you!

Post the code you are currently using along with any supporting statements such as AXIS Pattern or Symbol. Axis and Raxis are likely what you are looking for.

You might also want to consider moving to Proc SGPLOT which has more options for overlaying multiple graphs with individual controls.

VBAR or VBARBASIC with VLINE or VBARPARM with Series plots in Sgplot.

The first thing you should do is switch to PROC SGPLOT.

The next thing you should do is browse the Graphically Speaking Blog. I would be surprised if you can't find your answer there.

I'm sorry for such a late reply! I think switching to Proc SGPLOT is a good strategy.

Thank you! I'm going to switch to sgplot and see what I can come up with.
