I've got a character field named Butterflies. I've got a numeric field named Test. Test values are 1-6. I'm trying to create a vbar where all the Test values are represented, even if there is no data for them. This will make the graphic colors across all charts the same. I tried the code below, but it's ignoring the midpoints do not match the variable type. Any idea what's going on?
PROC GCHART DATA=mydata
;
VBAR3D
Butterflies
/
SUBGROUP=Test
/* Start of custom user code. */
patternid = subgroup
/* End of custom user code. */
SHAPE=BLOCK
FRAME TYPE=FREQ
MISSING
PCT
LEGEND=LEGEND1
COUTLINE=BLACK
RAXIS=AXIS1
MAXIS=AXIS2
/* Start of custom user code. */
discrete
midpoints=1 2 3 4 5 6;
When I have a similar need I usually join the data to a data set with all of the categorical variables. If the value isn't in the data set then GCHART can't do anything with it.
