Rounding off on graph

[karthick veerapandian]

Dear Stata users,

I am sure this thread might have been posted earlier, but I am unable to understand though I did a quick check with this thread https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...decimal-places .

My query is how could i get rounding off figures as labels on the graph as my labels should match with the tables. I have used the following syntax for running a graph and Its result is attached here. Can anyone help me out to add an option to take care of rounding off the figure (for eg; 0.00 to 0)

graph hbar (mean) income_agri_yearly if n==1 & consent ==1 & income_agri_yearly !=0 [aweight = trimweight], over(socialgroup_hhm) blabel(bar) legend(on) name(AgriculturalIncome) title(Agricultural Income)

The blabel allows for a format suboption. See

help blabel_option

Hello Hemanshu, thanks for the suggestion. I tried your way but got an error 198.

Well, I realized that I made a mistake. I should have put the format inside the blabel().

I am still getting the decimal numbers as a label for this command

graph hbar (mean) income_agri_yearly if n==1 & consent ==1 & income_agri_yearly !=0 [aweight = trimweight], over(socialgroup_hhm) blabel(total, position(inside) color(white) format(%9.1f)) legend(on) name(AgriculturalIncome2) title(Agricultural Income)

How to get only the whole number?

You asked for a display rounding to 1 decimal place and you got what you asked for. You can round to integers by using e.g. %9.0f. If you wanted more vigorous rounding to be shown with graph bar you would need to create a new variable that was rounded to the nearest hundred or thousand or whatever you wanted.

You say that you want presentation to be consistent with what is shown in tables. but as you don't explain what is shown in your tables it is hard to advise there.

Dear Nick,

I am sorry for the unclear and misinformation thread.

And appreciate much for your kind explanation. It worked well, hurray!!.
