Hi , I created a histogram on a numeric variable which has 10 digts after the decimal point. I want that to be retained as I like the distribution of the values by the bars, but the numbers displayed on the x-axis should have only 2 digits after the decimal point. Is it possible to manipulate the format of the x -axis in proc univariate only ? My code is: proc univariate data=test;   var var1; histograms /midpoints= 5.6703546745 to 35.9034765215 by 0.5;  /* assume the minimum value of var1 is 5.6703546745 and maximum value of var1 is 35.9034765215 */ run; Thanks. ...

Hi , I need to know the minimum and maximum values of a numeric variable(var1) using data steps. I need the minimum and maximum values  to recall them in the proc univariate code I am using to create a histogram. I need those values to specify the range  for the x axis. I need to create a generic code for the minimum and maximum values as the histogram will be created for a different datasets every time. I am looking to create  a macro of the proc univariate code. Here is an example of the code I am working on: proc univariate data =final;   var var1;   histogram / midpoints= 4 to 36 by 0.5; run; Now: instead of '4' , I need a variable name/code  that translates into the minimum value of the variable and instead of '36' I need a variable name/code  that translates into the maximum value of the variable. i.e. proc univariate data=final;      var var1;      histogram /midpoints= (code for minimum value) to (code for maximum value) by 0.5; run; Also, proc univariate does allow to output a dataset with the minimum and maximum values by using the syntax.. output out=strengthstats min=variable name of minimum value max=variable name of maximum values; Any suggestion on how to pull these variables from the strengthstats dataset is also welcome. Please let me know your ides and thoughts on it. Thanks. ... View more

Hi, I am working with a sas dataset called 'final' and I need to create a bar chart of the frequencies(y-axis) for the individual values in the variable var1(x-axis). There are hundred such values with little differences in their values by decimal points.           var1 1.65 4.83 6.14 6.56 8.35 9.22 9.57 10.23 10.67 11.98 45.23 67.54 34.53 I used proc ghcart and my code is proc gchar data=final;   vbar var1; run; This gives me a very crowded chart and I need to increase the chart area to be able to show all 100 values. Please advice on how I can manipulate the chart area. Should I use another procedure ? Als, I am using SAS 9.4 Thanks. ... View more
