Date format

[maribelchahine]

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me. I am asked to plot enrollment by month when enrollment variable is in mm/dd/yyyy format. How can I change it to just mm?

You can use a month function, month(), to extract the month from that variable.

You could try the MONYY7. (eg Jan2022) SAS Format. That will ensure your dates are plotted correctly in date order even if they spread over multiple years.

A custom date format could help, have a look at the docs of proc format and picture-type-formats. You have to be 100% sure that the source has data of a single year, only and always. If not using the format suggest by @SASKiwi is the easiest route to solve the problem.
