Is there any way to plot one variable and the row pct for that variable by another (from proq freq) as histogram?
Specifically, I have 2 variables, one is continuous that I am treating categorically (1-20) and the other is a binary 0/1 variable. I want to plot the first variable on the x axis and the row percent for the category 1 as the y axis.
What kind of plot? Scatter, bar, pie, line something else?
It may help to remember that the mean of 0/1 coded variable is the percent of 1 values. So with SGPLOT and Hbar or Vbar you could indicate the binary variable as the response variable and request the Stat=mean.
If you must see % symbols then assign a percent format to the binary variable for the plot. No need to use Proc Freq.
Other plots likely will require you to summarize the data, (hint: Proc means or Summary with your category variable as Class and the binary as a Var variable).

worked beautifully - thank you.
