Hi
I am getting below warning for sgplot procedure.
WARNING: The data for a BARCHARTPARM statement are not appropriate. The BARCHARTPARM statement expects summarized data. The bar chart might not be drawn correctly.
What will be the reason for this type of warnings? My code looks something like below:
proc sgplot data=name;
hbarparm category=var1 response=var2 / group=var3 outline fill barwidth=.7 dataskin=none
clusterwudth=0.1;
run;
TIA
The hbarparm and vbarparm, related to the Graphics template language Barchartparm (same error message for all of these plots) means that you can only have one combination of the category and group variable with a single value as the response. Two small examples you can run. Note that the second generates the warning you mention because the x=1 and y=2 has two values.
data example;
input x y z;
datalines;
1 1 23
1 2 33
1 3 18
;
proc sgplot data=example;
hbarparm category=x response=z/ group=y;
run;
data example2;
input x y z;
datalines;
1 1 23
1 2 33
1 2 16
1 3 18
;
proc sgplot data=example2;
hbarparm category=x response=z/ group=y;
run;
If your data looks like the Example2 above then you use an HBAR plot, the Response variable is then an option after the /. By default the Hbar or Vbar would Sum the response variable values, you could request other statistics.
