That makes sense about having a large enough group size for the comparison, as smaller numbers would produce unstable percentages. They are all &gt;100. Really appreciate your valuable thoughts!!</P> Wed, 16 Mar 2022 17:21:20 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/plot-comparing-females-to-population-with-different-categories/m-p/802510#M39437 saoirse872 2022-03-16T17:21:20Z
