Proc Gchart and annotate dataset

[Oleg_L]

Hello SAS-users.

I have no experience with annotate datasets. I'm trying to use annotate at first time.
I build a graph using Gchart procedure. See part 1 of the code below.
Now I need to add two lines at the same graph. I have tried to draw these lines by using annotate dataset.
See part 2 of the code below.
There are no errors in the Log. But the lines are not visualising in the output window.

What am I doing wrong?
Please help.

Oleg.

When you're annotating on a gchart vbar, you need variables called 'midpoint' and 'y', rather than 'x' and 'y', I believe.

Here's a simple example that annotates a line on a bar chart, that might help:

Thank you very much for your help.

You pushed me in a right direction. I've achieved some progress. Lines are appeared. I will work on other details.

Regards,
Oleg.
