SGPLOT hbar with the number of observations for each group displayed?

braam — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 15:38:55 GMT

Can I add the frequency for each group (MAKE) in the below plot? I can generate the plot to check the distribution by MAKE, but I would like to display the exact number of observations (for each MAKE).

ods graphics/height=800px;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.cars; 
hbar make;
yaxis display=all fitpolicy=none;
run;

Sorry for the bad display of the code. The below is the same as in the main posting.

ods graphics/height=800px;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.cars; 
hbar make;
yaxis display=all fitpolicy=none;
run;

Small correction:

ods graphics/height=800px;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.cars; 
hbar make / datalabel;
yaxis display=all fitpolicy=none;
run;

@PeterClemmensen

Thanks! That works well for me!

Again, your suggestion worked well for the example I posted.

Then I applied it to my own dataset and SAS tells me the below warning:

WARNING: The data labels are suppressed. Use DATALABELFITPOLICY=NONE to force the labels to be
         displayed.

When I added DATALABELFITPOLICY=NONE in my code, it works well. Do you know why this option is needed only for some cases?
