Could someone please help me figure out why SAS is not assigning colors to my bar chart in the correct order? It is driving me crazy! I want colors to be assigned to each frequency level as I've written it out:  proc format; value imp_screening 1="Very unimportant" 2="A litte unimportant" 3="Neutral" 4="A litte important" 5="Very important" 6="I do not have a sense of this"; run; proc sgplot data=IMP_COMB NOCYCLEATTRS noautolegend; vbar cat /group = howoft GROUPDISPLAY = CLUSTER fillattrs=howoft; title 'Responses to: "Indicate the importance of screening for each of the following in primary care" (n=52)'; XAXIS DISPLAY=(NOLABEL); keylegend / title=" "; styleattrs datacolors=(CX8B0021 /*dark red*/ CXAB0532 /*light red*/ CX558DBD /*grey*/ CX002872 /*light blue*/ CXE2E9EB /*dark blue*/ CXF4EDE5 /*beige*/); format cat screener. howoft imp_screening.; run; I want neutral to be grey and a little unimportant to be light red, but it keeps switching them: No matter what I do, as the picture shows, neutral is red and a little unimportant is grey. Please help, it is driving me crazy! I would also appreciate some help getting the key legend in the right order (very unimportant --> very important). Thanks so much!  ... View more

Hello! I wish to conduct a ttest comparing means of a vairable between the two groups in the class variable, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.    Here is my code:   proc surveymeans data=fus t; cluster group; var interest; class period; run;   Whether I take out or leave in the class statment, I get only a single t statistic for my interest variable. I would like a t test comparing the mean in terest between my two periods (in the class statement). Any suggestions how I could do this? I would like to account for the clusters, which is why I don't want to use a regular proc ttest. Thank you! ... View more
