Adding dynamic label to bar

[cuevasj]

l am trying to draw a barchart that has a label on the top of each bar that is derived from a data set.

proc sgplot data=work.cohort_graph_FSA_read dattrmap=cohort_graph_FSA_read_attr noautolegend subpixel;
title "FSA/FSAA Reading" ;
vbar test_year / response=AL group=graph_test_score
attrid=AL_color
dataskin=pressed
datalabelpos=top
datalabel=graph_test_score
datalabelattrs=(color=white weight=bold size=12);
xaxis display=(noticks noline nolabel);
yaxis display=(noline noticks nolabel) grid max=5 min=0;
run;

where "graph_test_score" is some text derived from the data set "work.cohort_graph_FSA_read" such as "AL=3 (SS=320)" for one year(bar) and "AL=4 (SS=350)" for a different year(bar)

Can't run your program without some sample data. 

Is it not working?  Try using GROUPDISPLAY=Cluster and remove DataLabelPos option.

I have attached a sample file.

removing datalabelpos and adding groupdisplay=cluster, did not work.

Here is the full code. ( I do not have rights on my computer to load a dataset, so I took one student's data and moved it into an excel file.)

proc import out=work.elementary_promo_graphs
datafile= "xxx\elmentary FSA graph label.xlsx"
dbms=xlsx replace;
sheet="Sheet1";
getnames=yes;
run;

/*** FSA\FSAA:read Graph ***/
data cohort_graph_FSA_read;
set work.elementary_promo_graphs;
where dcps_student_id="&DCPS_ID" and test_component_code in ('RO','UB') and school_number ne '9999';
graph_test_score=cat('AL=',strip(test_level),' (SS=',strip(put(test_score,4.)),')');
AL=input(test_level,4.);
test_name=strip(test_code)||' Read';
run;
data cohort_graph_FSA_read_attr;
set cohort_graph_FSA_read;
value=AL;
length fillcolor $8.;
id='AL_color';
if AL=1 then fillcolor='Red'; else
if AL=2 then fillcolor='Yellow'; else
if AL=3 then fillcolor='Green'; else
if AL=4 then fillcolor='Blue'; else
if AL=5 then fillcolor='Black'; else
fillcolor='White';
run;
proc sort data=work.cohort_graph_FSA_read; by test_year test_period_seq; run;
proc sql noprint;
select distinct
coalesce(count(test_score),1)
into
:RO_count
from
work.cohort_graph_FSA_read
where
test_score not in (.,0);
quit;
%let RO_count=&RO_count;
%put &RO_count;

/* Test History Section - FSA/FSAA:Read */
**ods region x=7.7cm y=8.0cm width=5.0cm height=5.0cm;
proc sgplot data=work.cohort_graph_FSA_read dattrmap=cohort_graph_FSA_read_attr noautolegend subpixel;
title "FSA/FSAA Reading" ;
vbar test_year / response=AL group=graph_test_score
attrid=AL_color
dataskin=pressed
groupdisplay=cluster
datalabel=graph_test_score
datalabelattrs=(color=white weight=bold size=12);
xaxis display=(noticks noline nolabel);
yaxis display=(noline noticks nolabel) grid max=5 min=0;
run;

Some macro variables in your program are not resolved. 

WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference DCPS_ID not resolved.
ERROR: Variable dcps_student_id is not on file
WORK.ELEMENTARY_PROMO_GRAPHS.

Try a simpler case like this that works.  Maybe you can build from there.

data foo;
  input cat $ Value Label $;
  datalines;
A  10  X
B  15  Y
;
run;

proc print;run;

proc sgplot data=foo;
  vbar cat / response=value group=cat datalabel=label groupdisplay=cluster
          datalabelattrs=(size=12);
run;
