Is it possible to set the value of a reference line in a Time Series Plot to a calculated value, rather than a constant. I want a reference line on the date axis for the date at the time of viewing (eg. the datetime() function) but seem only able to select a date from a Calendar.

SAS9.4M5 and VA 7.4.

Thanks

Hello Nigel,

 

Dynamic reference lines are a frequently-requested feature. I can't promise when it will be added (and I honestly don't know), but it is on our list of features for development.

 

For some types of visualization, you can work around the issue by using a custom graph to overlay a horizontal line plot with a single value. This only works for horizontal reference lines, though.
