How to set % symbol to all number on axis

Does anybody know how to set the y axis of the category plot be in percents? I mean to have the “%” symbol at the every tick – similarly to the plot attached?

You need to set your ticks using user tick waves. One text wave holding the displayed text, a second numerical wave that assigns the tick locations.
E.g.

make/t/n=9 labelWave=num2istr((p-1)*10)+"%"

make/n=9 tickLocationWave=(p-1)*10

ModifyGraph userticks(left)={tickLocationWave,labelWave}

Set the data units of the first appended y wave, then check the "Units in Every Tick Label" checkbox (on the Tick Options tab).

You'll need to remove the default axis label's treatment of the units; I just entered a space for the axis label which overrides the default of Label left "%" in this case.

Here's my example:

Macro TestData()

    Make/O/N=10 data=(p+1)*5/1.75

    SetScale d 0,0,"%", data

    Make/O/T/N=10 categories= "Category "+num2istr(p+1)

    Graph0()

End

Window Graph0() : Graph

    PauseUpdate; Silent 1       // building window...

    Display /W=(11.25,61.25,405.75,403.25) data vs categories

    ModifyGraph tkLblRot(bottom)=90

    ModifyGraph linTkLabel(left)=1

    Label left " "

EndMacro
