Hi,

In proc sgplot with either hbar or vbar statement, how to bring information from two variables to one bar.  For eg. var1=5 and var2=10.  Other obs could be var1=2 and var2=5.  The plot should show one bar for each obs and each representaive bar should show informaion from both var1 (red) and var2 (blue).  The group won't work here.

If you want the bars stacked change GROUPDISPLAY from CLUSTER to STACK.

Basically need to show two 'response' values into one bar with different color.

You'll need to restructure you data into how SAS expects it to be for a stacked bar chart. 

This means combining the variables and included a new variable to denote the source/group.

You mean create a new variable by adding var1+var2.  But in the vbar statement, what will be go in response=?? and group= combined?? groupdisplay=stack?  Thanks.

Hi:

  Restructuring the data will get you want you want. You just need to make 2 observations for every observation in the input data.
