How to flag/highlight statistical significance on the same table

Scorpx — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 14:57:02 GMT

Hello,

I used a software called PSTAT to do some survey analysis. Now I'm migrating to SAS and I want to know if there is any process I could use to get an output where I can flag/highlight significant differences without generating other tables.

The example showed below illustrate my question (I added the yellow color for clarification).

Thanks in advance.

SAS will indicate, via a number of conventions, when something is statistically significant. It really depends on what PROC you are using, and how you want the statistically significant information to be flagged/highlighted.

Hello Paige.

Thanks for your answer. The example I showed is a crosstab so probably I will want to replicate that using Proc Freq/tabulate.

But I am open to suggestions.

Thanks.

This particular example could be "replicated" (maybe not exactly) via PROC TABULATE or PROC REPORT, and in each you can color code certain cells (or make the number bold, or change the color of the numbers, etc.) based upon whatever criteria you want, in this case statistical significance.
