Hi everyone,
Im trying to get a bar chart with a horizontal date axis. I tried to get a nicer plot by changing the date format:
proc sgplot data=test;
vbar reporting_date / response=y stat=sum;
xaxis valuesformat=MONYY7.;
run;
Doesn't work ...
Does anyone know how to change the format of the x axis?
Thanks!
Hi @AndreasF,
The documentation of the VALUESFORMAT= option says: "For discrete axes, only character formats are supported."
But you can replace the XAXIS statement by a FORMAT statement to apply the MONYY7. format:
format reporting_date monyy7.;

Add the NOTIMESPLIT option to your XAXIS statement to prevent the time axis from splitting, Then, I believe your format will be honored.
Hope this helps!
