I am running the following code to create several horizontal bar charts:
proc sgpanel data=mydata;
panelby by panelvar;
hbarparm category=catvar response=size;
run;
The problem I run into is that each of my panelvar values has differet catvar values. SGPANEL produces horizontal bar charts with bars for every category in the data set in each panel. In each panel, I really just want to see bars for categories that exists for that panelvar value.
Is there a way to do this with PROC SGPANEL or do I have to use PROC SGPLOT with a BY statement?
Try option UNISCALE=ROW in the PANELBY statement.
Unfortunately, that doesn't do quite what I'm looking for. Here is a code example that uses sashelp.cars:
proc sgpanel data=sashelp.cars (where=(Make like 'A%'));
panelby make / columns=1 uniscale=row;
hbarparm category=model response=MPG_City;
run;
I'd like to make it so only the models for Audi show up in the Audi panel, only the models for Acura in the Acura panel, etc.
I always mix those up! You need UNISCALE=COLUMN !
Great! That worked. Thanks so much.
With SAS 9.4, you can use the PROPORTIONAL option to make all bars the same thickness regardless of the number in each cell.
proc sgpanel data=sashelp.cars (where=(Make like 'A%'));
panelby make / columns=1 uniscale=column proportional;
hbarparm category=model response=MPG_City;
run;
