proc gchart, format inside=subpct

BigD — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:23:12 GMT

I have some gcharts where the response bar are subdivided by another classification. Unfortunately, the percent number reported within the bar has 2 decimal places which takes up too much room. Is there anyway to get the percentage to display no decimal places?

Thanks,

Bruce

proc gchart data=new;
Vbar age /
TYPE=PCT
subgroup=disposition_new
Inside=subpct
G100
GROUP=age
NOZERO
Raxis=axis1
GAXIS=AXIS2
width=15
space=0
maxis=axis3
legend=legend3;
run;

Try using a format statement ...

I can't get a format on the subpercent because it is caluculated within the proc.

Could you post a few rows of data to go along with your code? Then others can play too.

Here is a SAS tech note I found at the SAS support http://support.sas.com/ website making a general reference to SUBPCT and needing to use the ANNOTATE facility. I would suggest you open a SAS support track to pursue your interest here.

Thanks to all,

A little pre-processing of the data to match the example given in the SAS note suggested by Barry and then it worked fine.

Thanks to all for your help.

I'm having this exact same problem. The annotate could is turning out to be a little difficult to decipher; I'm not sure what some of it is doing, exactly (e.g., "a", xsys, ysys, position, "E", etc.). Though an experienced Stata and R user, I'm getting up to speed in SAS.

BigD: could you please post the code that worked?

Here're my data and code:

And the code:

/*Figure 6:  Coalition Progress on Individual Activities (All Coalitions)*/
title1 "Progress on Individual Activities (All Coalitions)";
axis1 label=("Activity") value=(angle=45 rotate=0);
axis2 label=none value=none;
axis3 label=(angle=90 "Percent") value=("0%" "10%" "20%" "30%" "40%" "50%" "60%" "70%" "80%" "90%" "100%") 
	minor=none;
PROC GCHART data=temp;
	format prog1 prog.;
	vbar count / type=percent subgroup=prog1 g100 group=Activity inside=pct
	gaxis=axis1 maxis=axis2 raxis=axis3 width=20;
RUN;

I get this graph, which is very nearly what I need, just that the two decimal points give an impression of a great precision that just isn't in the data!

I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks,

David
