How to display the percentage symbol (%) next to the numbers on the y-axis of a P-chart (SPC chart)?

bhr-q — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 11:39:58 GMT

Hello, I can get the number based on the percentage displayed on the y-axis using the following code with (YSCALE=PERCENT).

How can I fix it to display the "%" symbol next to each number on the y-axis?

proc shewhart data=tmp2;
pchart yes_answer2*month /     subgroupn = n_per_group2 ODSTITLE="P-chart of Pts Counseling"
                                      outtable  = tmp2table  
                                      nohlabel nolegend  YSCALE=PERCENT ;    
LABEL yes_answer ="Prop of Pts counseled";
run;proc print noobs;run;

Thanks

You could disable ODS Graphics and use an AXIS statement, such as

ods graphics off;
axis1 order=(0 to 50 by 10) value=('0%' '10%' '20%' '30%' '40%' '50%')
label=("Pts Counseled") minor=none;
proc shewhart data=tmp2;
pchart yes_answer2*month / subgroupn = n_per_group2 ODSTITLE="P-chart of Pts Counseling"
outtable = tmp2table
vaxis=axis1
nohlabel nolegend YSCALE=PERCENT ;
run;
ods graphics on;

Thank you for your response, I don't have a SAS/Graph license as I get the below warning with your code:

WARNING: Traditional graphics are not available because either SAS/GRAPH is not licensed for your system, or the license has
expired.

Is there any other way I just want to put the '%' beside the number in below plot:

Thank you!

I tried to get a % sign on the axis from a PROC SHEWHART p-chart and could not figure it out either. If you find a way, please let us know. : )

You can always output the data from PROC SHEWHART to a dataset, and use SGPLOT to make the plot. But I decided it wasn't worth the trouble, and just lived without the percentage signs. I put % in the title, and in the axis label, and decided that was enough. But it's weird that it's not there in the axis values by default, since PROC SHEWHART has already been told that the yscale is a %.
