Hi,
As fas as I could read in the SAS online doc, it is currently not possible to display zero frequencies in a bar char.
I could manage to add it using the values options of xaxis statement but the value 0 is not displayed with datalabel and the bar at value zero is also not displayed.
Are you aware of any other solution I could consider (format?, other option? vbarbasic?, vbarparm?)
data cnt;
gender='M'; freq=9; output;
gender='F'; freq=8; output;
gender='X'; freq=0; output;
run;
proc print data=cnt;
run;
ods graphics / width=15cm height=10cm noborder;
proc sgplot data=cnt noborder;
vbar gender / freq=freq missing displaybaseline=off datalabel;
xaxis values=('M' 'F' 'X')
display = (noline);
run;
ods graphics off;
Here is how I would do it. Example using SASHELP.CLASS data set
proc format;
value $ sexfmt "F"="Female"
"M"="Male"
"X"="X";
run;
proc summary data=sashelp.class nway completetypes;
class sex / preloadfmt order=formated missing;
format sex $sexfmt.;
output out=counts;
run;
proc sgplot data=counts;
vbarparm category=sex response=_FREQ_ / nozerobars;
run;

Thank you 🙂
Anytime 🙂
