PROC SGPLOT VBAR DATALABEL mean FORMAT issue

[serjio]

Hello everyone,,

we are trying to use sgplot varbar ,

option:     vbar x / response =y   stat=mean datalabel ;

to put mean data above  each bar. however, we found we have no way to format datalabel.

Is there a way to format datalabel to avoid long tail of the mean?

We tried to format response Y. But it seems sgplot   gave a mean  based on formatted Y,   lacking original precision.

ie. after formating Y, MEAN=2.12,  but using the real numbers Mean=2.13,  how we solve this?

hard to pass QC.

ANY IDEA HOW TO SOLVE THIS?

Thank you!

Do you have a reproducible working example we can work with to help you get what you want?

One option is to calculate the values separately and then use a TEXT statement to overlay the values onto the graph.
