Bar chart customize the x axis

Rakeon — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 18:41:29 GMT

Hi,

I use a Bar Chart Graph in order to visualize a categorical variable: (<5% 5%-8% 8%-10%.....). The problem is that the order in x-axis isn't what I want, and therefore I need to customize the order.

I also look this two post:

https://support.sas.com/kb/49/445.html

but they doesn't work.

Have you some idea?

Hi,
I use SAS VA with the object Bar Chart. I just can set some parameter of this object and I don't know how if i can write code in SAS VA and show some report. I'm just look to sort the x-axis in a custom way with the parameter of SAS VA.

Hello,

It is possible that you have created the custom sort properly, but the chart is not sorting by the category variable. This happens to me all the time.

Try right-clicking the chart and then selecting Sort from the context menu. (The UI might be different depending on the version of VA that you have.) Be sure the correct variable is used to sort the chart.

Let us know if that helps,
Sam

Thanks Sam,

in the property there wasn't checked the checkbox of x-axis Label.

As said you, after checked the x-axis Label, I sorted from the context menu and it works.
