Add date annotation to graph with proc template

KRA15 — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 21:16:58 GMT

I am creating a gif using proc template with overlaid pie and bar charts using monthly data from Dec 1999 - Dec 2001 (attached excel sheet).

I want to annotate each graph with its respective date displayed on the chart. However, when I annotate the charts with the date column, every date is is laid on top of each other, creating a mess in the lower right corner.

How would I go about labeling each graph with its corresponding date?

You need to find some way to describe which "year" or annotation goes where on the graph.

It likely doesn't help that you are calling your variable "year" one that has monthly data, or at least that is what it looks like from the XLSX you reference.

If you look at the values in your annotate data set is suspect that you will find all of text is told to be displayed at the same location
