Plotting Categorical Variable with Percentage Points Instead of Counts on Y-Axis in R (2 Examples)

[@dangunwangum]

..count.. very nice. I created a similar chart but it was far more complicated. Thank you.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment! :)

Thank you for the video! I was wondering how you can do something similar if you also have groups. When I applied the aes(y = (..count..)/sum(..count..)) code to a grouped barchart, it expresses the percentages of certain categories as relative to the whole sample, but I want to have the percentages of categories relative to the answers of the group. So in other words, I would like to create a graph in which I want to plot for two groups separately the mean percentages of frequencies in different categories. So similar to your graph but then with the two groups next to each other for each category. How can I best achieve this?

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your interest in our tutorials. Sorry for the late response. If I understood your question correctly, you could use the facet_grid() function. Please see the example below. set.seed(927456) # Creating example data data

Glad you like them Max, thank you for the nice comment!

You are GREAT and super helpful thank you!! I'm wondering how to do this with 2 categorical variables. I have looked through multiple videos but only find count with 2 cat vars. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

Hello Denise, You can use facet_grid as follows: set.seed(927456) # Creating example data data

Is it possible to show both bars (counts and percentage) in the same graph?

[@StatisticsGlobe]

Hey Santiago, yes this would be possible, but you would have to perform some data manipulation first. For instance, you could use a grouped barplot for this: statisticsglobe.com/draw-grouped-barplot-in-r Regards, Joachim

Thanks for the video, can you please tell me how to add percentage labels above each bar

[@StatisticsGlobe]

Hey Ghaida, thank you very much for the comment! You can add labels to a barplot as explained here: statisticsglobe.com/r-position-geom_text-labels-in-grouped-ggplot2-barplot Regards, Joachim

@@StatisticsGlobe Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. i still didnt understand how to add percentage labels above each bar. The problem is taht in this example the Y is "(..count..)/sum(..count..)" and in the link y is defined as "height" , the label's code does not work the same way

[@nayeemislam8123]

where did you use the scales package?

Hey Nayeem, when I use percent in the last line of code.
