Hi all,
I have a dataset containing fights in a school. I was asked to do some descriptive analysis, especially graphs, using the date variable to see if perhaps students fight more in a particular day of the week or hour, moth etc.
I have a date variable storage type= double; display format %tc.. ex 11:30:00 11:40:59. I need to format this variable so I can differentiate from 11 am to 11 pm or perhaps 11 and 21 hours. Although I did some quick reading on format function I did not find answer.
Then I need to create a line chart of my hour variable. My tried was histogram IncidentDate, frequenc. But I would like a line graph. I supposed this is pretty easy to do but again I did not find a way to do a line graph for a single variable (frequencies). Please find attach an example of how I would like the graph to look- the variable a I used for this graph is another date variable but it will work for the hour variable as well. .

Thank you very much!
