Hello STATA experts,
I am struggling a bit to represent the following data graphically. I was wondering if a group bar char was the best, but (as I understand) one can only have numeric values on the axes. However, my key variable that I need to have on the axis is a string variable. Here is the dataset that I have:
Profession2004 and Profession 2005 are string values, while rank1, score2004, score2005 and difference are double.
The data tells us that an individual has moved from "profession 1" with a score of 29.351 in 2004 to "profession 2" with a score of 81.948 in 2005. The difference is 52.527. In short, the individual has moved to a higher profession. I show the top 3 moves (Rank). I would like to represent this graphically. I tried with a grouped bar chart, but does not work. I appreciate any help. Here is an ideal plot that I am looking for (apologies for the messy handwriting)!
Appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance,
Jason
