Hello, I want to adjust the bin size on my histogram for the Income variable so a bin will contain data +/1 10,000 or +/- 20,000. I just need it to look like that so it's easier to read and interpret.

 

Here's my code:

Focus on the part where it says:

*Make a histogram of median income;
Proc SGPlot data = RegPro.SimplReg;
Histogram Income;
Run;

 

This is my histogram:

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I cannot tell what you mean by "a bin will contain data +/1 10,000 or +/- 20,000. " even assuming the +/1 should be read as +/_

 

If you mean the width of a bin should be 10,000 then add the option Binwidth=10000 to the histogram statement. Typically you may also want to specify BINSTART to control the first boundary

 

I might suggest modifying your Histogram to look like:

 

Histogram income/ binstart=40000 binwidth=10000;

Suggestion: Post code with text, copy your text and paste into a text box opened on the forum using the </> icon above the message window. If a recommendation requires lots of code changes you may find that many of us don't want to retype significant amounts of text.
