vbar multiple analysis vars

[bheinsius]

hi, i thought this would be easy but i cannot find a way to do it (in a simple way in sas913).

i want to create a bar chart with multiple analysis vars, like the chart below i created in excel:

how can i do this in sas?

thanks, Bart

SAS graph is definitely NOT my forte, but the following gets a fairly close result to what you want:

data have;

  input x $ y1-y4;

  cards;

a 2 3 4 5

b 3 4 5 6

c 4 5 6 7

d 5 6 7 8

;

data need (keep=x time y);

  set have;

  array thedata(*) y1-y4;

  do time=1 to dim(thedata);

    y=thedata(time);

    output;

  end;

run;

proc gchart data=need;

  vbar y / discrete

  type=sum sumvar=y

  group=x

  space=0

  gspace=4

  subgroup=time /* this controls the coloring */

  maxis=axis1 /* midpoint axis */

  raxis=axis2 /* response/numeric axis */

  gaxis=axis3 /* group axis */

  autoref /* reflines at every major axis tickmark */

  clipref /* put reflines behind the bars */

  cref=graycc

  legend=legend1

  coutline=black

  des=""

; 

run;

quit;

thanks i will give this a go.

Using Art's data, reshape the data by groups and use proc GCHART.

data group;
  keep x grp val;
  set have;
  grp='Y1'; val=y1; output;
  grp='Y2'; val=y2; output;
  grp='Y3'; val=y3; output;
  grp='Y4'; val=y4; output;
run;

proc gchart data=group;

  vbar grp / sumvar=val group=x subgroup=grp autoref clipref;

  run;

  quit;

And one more variation ...

data my_data;
  input groupvar $ y1-y4;
  cards;
a 2 3 4 5
b 3 4 5 6
c 4 5 6 7
d 5 6 7 8
;
run;

proc transpose data=my_data out=tran_data;
by groupvar;
run;

data tran_data; set tran_data (rename=(col1=value _name_=category));
label category='Category';
run;

legend1 label=none across=1 position=(right middle) shape=bar(.15in,.15in)
offset=(-10,0);

axis1 label=none minor=none order=(0 to 9 by 1);
axis2 label=none value=none;
axis3 label=none;

pattern1 v=s c=cx4f81bd;
pattern2 v=s c=cxc0504d;
pattern3 v=s c=cx9bbb59;
pattern4 v=s c=cx8064a2;

proc gchart data=tran_data;
vbar category / type=sum sumvar=value
group=groupvar
subgroup=category
space=0
legend=legend1
raxis=axis1
maxis=axis2
gaxis=axis3
noframe
autoref cref=graydd clipref
coutline=same
;
run;
