Axis Labels

PCHART Statement

Axis Labels

You can specify axis labels by assigning labels to particular variables in the input data set, as summarized in the following table:

Axis Input Data Set Variable

Horizontal all subgroup-variable

Vertical DATA= process

Vertical HISTORY= subgroup proportion nonconforming variable

Vertical TABLE= _SUBP_

For example, the following sets of statements specify the label Proportion Nonconforming for the vertical axis of the p chart:

   proc shewhart data=circuits;
      pchart fail*batch / subgroupn=500;
      label fail = 'Proportion Nonconforming';
   run;

   proc shewhart history=cirhist;
      pchart fail*batch ;
      label failp = 'Proportion Nonconforming';
   run;

   proc shewhart table=cirtable;
      pchart fail*batch ;
      label _SUBP_ = 'Proportion Nonconforming';
   run;

In this example, the label assignments are in effect only for the duration of the procedure step, and they temporarily override any permanent labels associated with the variables.
