Hi all,

Is it possible to specify a response and a different datalabel in sgplot. I mean I wish to display the relative (percent) values on the yaxis but the absolute on that bars. I used the following code but the pecentages are display in both cases. Is it possible to do that anyway?

proc sgplot data =mergedat dattrmap=myattrimap pad=(bottom=5%) noautolegend noborder;
xaxis grid type=discrete discreteorder=data;
vbar year response=percentvar group=grup attrid=grup  datalabel = absolutevar datalabelattrs=(weight=bold) seglabel seglabelattrs=(size=0.25) 
seglabelfitpolicy=none barwidth=0.9 missing;
xaxis  display= (nolabel) valueattrs=(family="verdana" size=8pt) fitpolicy=rotate ValuesRotate=Vertical;
yaxis values=(0 to 60  by 10) display= (nolabel) valueattrs=(family="verdana" size=8pt);

run;

You code looks good . What you want to try ?

 

proc sql;
create table want as
select age,sex,sum(weight) as sum,calculated sum/(select sum(weight) from sashelp.class where sex=a.sex) as per format=percent8.2
 from sashelp.class as a
  group by age,sex;
quit;
proc sgplot data=want;
vbarparm category=age response=per/group=sex datalabel=sum;
run;

@Ksharp thanks for the Code but the bars aren't labelled

In @Ksharp code, add option GROUPDISPLAY=cluster to VBARPARM stmt see the data labels.

 

See doc for DATALABEL that says this is displayed only when groups are clustered, not stacked.

https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/grstatproc/n0mc5dtithid5mn13c54dlgaceq3.htm#p...

 

If you want label for each bar segment, use SEGLABEL option.

@Jay54 that displays the bars side by side. I wouldn't like to display them as clusters 

Jay54

In ODS Graphics parlance, side-by-side is called "Clustered".  Default group display is stacked.  For labels on all stacked segments, use SEGLABEL option.

 

Example:

title 'Product Sales by Country';
proc sgplot data=sashelp.prdsale noborder;
    format actual dollar8.0;
    vbar country / response=actual group=product displaybaseline=auto barwidth=0.6
            seglabel datalabel dataskin=pressed;
    xaxis display=(noline noticks nolabel);
    yaxis display=(noline noticks nolabel) grid;
    keylegend / location=outside fillheight=10 fillaspect=2 ;
run;

Show the code from the log.
Your code as posted will throw at least one error because of a missing / option indicator.

Data is nice.

@ballardw I have no error in the log. The problem is that it uses the percent instead of the absolute values although I indicated datalabel= absolute value

Can you post your data, so we can experiment with it?

Hi @all  : Thankyou all for your suggestions. 

@Ksharp Since I already  used vbar, I taught I could continue with it.

@Jay54 I tried that code but it still writes the percentage values in the segment, I wanted instead the absolute values

@GraphGuy I have attached a sample data and my code

proc sgplot data =t.test4 pad=(bottom=5%) noautolegend noborder;
xaxis grid type=discrete discreteorder=data;
vbar date /response=freq group=var1 attrid=var1  seglabel seglabelattrs=(size=0.25) 
seglabelfitpolicy=none barwidth=0.6 missing;
xaxis  display= (nolabel) valueattrs=(family="verdana" size=8pt) fitpolicy=rotate ValuesRotate=Vertical;
yaxis  display= (nolabel) valueattrs=(family="verdana" size=8pt);

run;

okay, is this not possible with vbar

Ksharp
Super User

data want;
 set x.test4;
 by date;
 if first.date then lag=0;
 mean=lag+freq/2;
 lag+freq;
run;


proc sgplot data=want;
vbarbasic date /response=freq group=var1 GROUPDISPLAY=stack;
scatter x=date y=mean / markerchar=var2;
run;

If you really want VBAR ,try this one .

Or could be simpler. I see your data has been orgonized very well.

 

data want;
 set x.test4;
 by date;
 if first.date then lag=0;
 mean=lag+freq/2;
 lag+freq;
run;


proc sgplot data=want;
vbarparm category=date response=freq/group=var1 GROUPDISPLAY=stack;
scatter x=date y=mean / markerchar=var2;
run;
