| Subject | st: Formatting dates on a graph bar label |
| Date | Fri, 29 Jul 2011 16:15:42 +0100 |
Dear Statalister, I feel stuck as my graph always displays the actual Stata numbers for the date no matter how I specify the label. First I did: generate datenumber = date(date, "DMY") format datenumber %td Then: graph hbar v1 v2 v3, over(datenumber) The label won't change to something like 01/01/2011, no matter how I play around in the graph editor. Is this enough information (using Stata 11.2)? I reckon it's a simple problem. Everywhere else the behaviour is as specified in the help file on date and times.
