Vertical reference lines on a line chart

MVras — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 13:34:20 GMT

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to create vertical reference lines on at normal line chart?

On my chart (below) I want to report on the percentage of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 13 minutes and 15 minutes and to do that, I'll need vertical reference lines unless there's a smarter way to do t.

If possible the best thing would be both a verical and a horizontal line that meets on the graph line for the specific minute.

I hope it makes sense.

Hi Martin

In SAS Visual Analytics, if you use the time series object instead of the line chart object you should be able to create vertical and horizontal reference lines.

If that doesn't meet your requirements, you can always create a custom graph that will display dynamic reference lines. This is a really good article that describes how, https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/3-steps-to-label-specific-data-points-in-SAS-Visual-Analytics/ta-p/505057

Hi Martin,

If your reference line is static, you can create another variable with the static value and add it in the Data Roles.

This is a manual work around but an easy way.

Hope this helps.
