how to specify the number of decimals in proc gplot bubbles statement

Amal1 — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 12:40:51 GMT

Hello,

i am using the proc gplot to plot the mean of (length of stay) by age of the patient,while specifying the bubble size as the nmber of patients.

with the following code:

proc gplot data=data;

bubble moyenne*age=nbpatients;

formatt moyenne numx4.;

run;

I had a graph that used the whole data with its decimals and now that i want to repoduce the same graph

i am surprised that it only uses the natural part of the number without its decimals,

but i don't know where is the problem.

this is the graph i want to reproducethis is the graph i getthis is how my data looks looks like

Thank you.

formatt moyenne numx4.;

This applies a format that has no decimal places.

The number after the decimal indicates the number of decimals.

formatt moyenne numx8.1;

Is formatT (extra T) spelled correctly ? Not sure because t seems like you may be using another language here.

Check your log, you likely have a warning or error in there.
