I am creating a box plot with discrete x axis. I need to apply format to the x-axis value.

How can I achieve this ?

Did you try formatting the value?

 

format x_axis_variable myformat.;

No I mean what options to use within proc template to apply format to x-axis if x axis is discrete.

Well, how about you explain a little more about what you're trying to accomplish?And what you've tried so far and what isn't working.

I assumed you were using SGPLOT  or BOXPLOT.

FORMAT is one of the statements supported by any display procedure.

 

If you are using a graph template the easiest thing to test would be to add the

 

Format xaxisvariable customformat. ; to the SGRENDER procedure call.
