I am using sas 9.4 on a 64-bit machine. I have a dataset like this

data totals;

length dept $ 7 site $ 8 tx_sale $20 ;

INFILE DATALINES DLM='#';

input dept site quarter sales tx_sale ;

datalines ;

Parts#Sydney#1#0# N/A#

Parts#Atlanta#1#50##

Parts#Paris#1#60# #

Tools#Shanghai#4#0#N/A#

Tools#Athen#4#35##

Tools#Pittsburg#4#48##

;

run;

And I want to generate a bar chart with datalabel I specified in column tx_sale and the color of the bar indicating dept

I used code below:

proc sgplot data=totals;
  hbar site / response=sales missing datalabel=tx_sale;
run;

The chart generated by the code didn't have the color

If I used code below :

proc sgplot dat=totals;

  hbar site / group=dept response=sales missing datalabel=tx_sale;

run;

The chart generated by the code didn't have the datalabels.

How can I have both color bar and data label on the same chart? Thank you

On the VBAR statement, add GROUPDISPLAY=CLUSTER. The bar will not be stacked, but your labels should appear. Will that work for you?

Yes, it works. Thank you very much!
