Hello:
I wonder if there is an easy way to produce bar plots that track donation progress? Suppose there are 3 sites 1,2,3 which finish certain percentages of their fundraising target e.g 3k out of 5k, 5k out of 10k and 7k out of 10k. I hope to plot 3 bars and the height of each bar represents the target. Inside each bar, it shows the amount already raised (with a different color) as well as the percentage. Data is easy but not sure how to plot it in SAS.
Thanks,
Peter
It really helps to have actual data.
Here is some data and one way to plot something I hope is at least similar to what you want.
data have; input site $ collected target; pctofgoal= collected/target; format pctofgoal percent8.; label target='Target' collected='Collected to Date' ; datalines; AAA 7000 10000 BBB 4000 8000 CCC 10000 8000 ; proc sgplot data=have; vbar site /response=target datalabel fillattrs=(color=red transparency=.3); vbar site /response=collected datalabel=pctofgoal fillattrs=(color=green transparency=.3); yaxis label='Amount'; run;
Transparency settings allow colors to combine a bit so you can see the two bars superimposed. I included one example with the amount collected larger than the target so you could see what that might do.
Here is another variation on @ballardw 's solution, where it shrinks the width of the overlaid bar chart. I kind of like having that bar be a little smaller. It still gives you the benefit of superimposing the charts, but they still look distinct. Either will work fine. I just showing some possibilities...
proc sgplot data=have;
vbar site /response=target datalabel fillattr=(color=green);
vbar site /response=collected datalabel=pctofgoal barwidth=.4
fillattrs=(color=yellow transparency=0.5);
yaxis label='Amount';
run;
