Help with Getting Variable Labels in Paneled Line Graph of Multiple Variables

[bdates]

Hi, everyone.

Below is the syntax for a dataset and the GPL syntax afterward. I want the value labels, months, to print on the graph rather than the month number. Ideas? Thanks.

Data list free /Time Mean_Contacts Mean_Total_Time Mean_Service_Time .

Hi, Brian,

try:

I think at some point, we all agreed that returning to share the corrected/working outcome of our questions should be standard protocol. First, thanks Mario and Jon for your speedy and effective input. I also want to thank Andy Wheeler for his post on 'paneled' GPL for separate variables with different scales, from which this is an expansion. Here's the resulting syntax with the changes highlighted and underlined.

Hear, hear!  Thanks for doing that, Brian.  Perchance some future searcher of
these archives will be very grateful to you.
