Summary of Options

The following tables list the BOXCHART statement options by function. Many of these options are identical to options in the SHEWHART procedure, which are described in detail in Chapter 56, "Dictionary of Options."

Note that specifying (EXCEPTIONS) after a tabulation option creates a table for exceptional points only, that is, groups for which the mean exceeds the decision limits.
