SGplot suppress missing bars

[ghosh]

ods graphics on / reset=all;
ods graphics on / width=4in;

proc sgpanel data=sashelp.class;
  panelby sex / noheader noborder skipemptycells;
  vbar age / response=height group=sex;
run;

I am creating a graph similar to example from the documentation "SAS® 9.4 ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide, Sixth Edition".  I have only added the skipemptycells option. 

I would like to suppress missing bars (female age 16) , however, the skipemptycells option does not suppress it.  In my own example I am using year and quarter as the panelby and vbar variables respectively.

Would appreciate a solution.

Thanks

You will want to add two options to your PANELBY statement:

1. UNISCALE=ROW - this tells SGPANEL to make only the ROW axes uniform, allowing the missing "16" to go away from the first cell on the COLUMN axis.

2. PROPORTIONAL - this option tells SGPANEL to adjust the cell widths so that the bars have the same width, even when there are not the same number of categories in each cell.

Hope this helps!

Dan.
