I have 2 columns (t1 and t2)  created by catt or coalesceC from multiple columns (v1:v4) similar to the below.

 

v1v2v3v4 t1t2
1    1 
 2    2
  3  3 
       
   4-->4 
       
5     5
       
 7   7 
   5 5 
  8   8

 

I then run the following code. 

 

proc sgplot have;
	vbar t1;
	vbar t2;
run;

Then I get the following error message that I don't understand. 

 

ERROR: The same category variable must be used for summarized plots.

I finally found the solution I was looking for. Replace vbar in the above with vbarbasic as shown below:

 

proc sgplot data=have;
	vbarbasic t1;
	vbarbasic t2;
run;

The error tells you pretty much everything.  VBAR takes as first parameter a category variable for summarisation.  You can only have one.  Why have the data in two columns?  Why not coalesce the t values an have a category variable:

v1 v2 v3 v4  T cat  
1        1 1  
  2      
    3   1  

Then use cat as a group.
