Can I add % in proc sgplot hbar?

Dear All,

I would like to add % in my proc sgplot hbar. I managed to display the actual frequency by datalabel option, but don't know how to show its percentage. Any good idea?

Any procedures to display a looking-good graph with % would be good for me as well.

proc sgplot data= tcult.set4; hbar group /datalabel; run;

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. My graph looks like the last one in the blog you mentioned. But I would like to add % at the right of the graph.

You mean this ?

proc sgplot  data=sashelp.class;
hbar sex/datalabel stat=percent;
run;

If you want to show just percentage in the graph, you can do what @Ksharp said (with one additional option for right positioning):

proc sgplot  data=sashelp.class;
hbar sex / datalabel stat=percent datalabelpos=right;
run;

If you want the bar chart to still show frequency, but also show percentages, do this:

proc sgplot  data=sashelp.class;
hbar sex;
yaxistable sex / stat=percent;
run;

Hope this helps!
