Hi everybody,
I have a data file with a number of variables and I need a single graph that shows me box plots for every variable in one row so that they can be compared. I just can't find a way to realise this with the boxplot procedure. The box plots are always in separate rows and I need to specify a group variable even if I don't have separate groups.
Thanks for your help!
First off you would normalise the data needed, then graph on that. You've not posted data, so I just assume something:
ID VARA VARB VARC
1 12 56 34
...
Normalise to:
ID VAR RESULT
1 A 12
1 B 56
1 C 34
...
Then:
proc sgplot data=have; by id; vbox result / category=var; run;
As RW9 suggests, transpose your data to long form and use the CATEGORY= option. An example in in this blog post. You can skip the steps about ordering the boxplots, unless that is something you want to incorporate.
