I am creating a bar graph using the following sgplot, the bar graph generated is sorted by the aedecod alphabetically, but I really want to bar graph sorted by the frequency of the aedecod, 

 

proc sgplot data=SAE;
hbar aedecod / datalabel
fillattrs=graphdata2;
yaxis display=(nolabel);
xaxis grid;
run;

 

Thank you so much!!

Hi @zimcom,

 

Add the CATEGORYORDER= option to the existing options (DATALABEL and FILLATTRS=...) of the HBAR statement:

categoryorder=respdesc

to sort by descending frequencies or

categoryorder=respasc

to sort by ascending frequencies.

Sure. I would probably use a preliminary (DATA or PROC SQL) step to determine the total count and assign it to a macro variable. A reference to this macro variable could then be used in the TITLE statement.

 

Example -- assuming that the number of observations in dataset SAE equals the total count you need:

data _null_;
call symputx('nSAE',n);
stop;
set sae nobs=n; 
run;

title "SAE frequencies (total=&nSAE)";
