I should say also that graph_by doesn't respect the variable format command, although I think it should.


I have a variable that is numeric, like:

1.1
2.3
4.6

but about 20 levels to the variable. I want a to use graph_by where the by variable is the above, but I don't want the labels to show the float values. I could _string_ the numeric variable and graph_by that, but then the order is not numeric on the graph.

How do I rapidly change a float numeric variable to a labeled numeric variable such that my graph_by is labeled more neatly, and in numeric order?
