Add Hyperlinks to each cell in a cross tabbed Proc Report

cxkev182 — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 13:48:29 GMT

Hi,

I have the following proc report which is output to ODS HTML. Is it possible to use the groupings to build a hyperlink for each cell?

For example, when the user clicks on the cell that shows the Actual Sales for Country=Canada and Region=East, is it possible to have a link to an alreay created file named "CanadaEast.html" and when the user clicks on predicted sales USA west, link to "USAWest.html".

proc report data=sashelp.prdsale nowd out=abscols style(summary)=Header;

column country ( region,(actual predict )) ('Overall' actual=act predict=pred);

define country / group style(column)=Header;

define region / across;

define actual / sum format=comma12.;

define predict / sum format=comma12.;

define act / sum format=comma12. style(column)=Header;

define pred / sum format=comma12. style(column)=Header;

rbreak after / summarize;

run;

Thanks,

You normally have to click on the column header, but a bit of pre-processing allows this.


proc means data=SASHELP.PRDSALE nway noprint;
  class COUNTRY REGION;
  var   ACTUAL PREDICT ;
  output out=SUM sum=;
run;

data _F;
  retain TYPE 'N' FMTNAME 'LINKS';
  set SUM;
  START=ACTUAL ; LABEL=catt('<a href="',COUNTRY,REGION,'.htm">',ACTUAL ,'</a>'); output;
  START=PREDICT; LABEL=catt('<a href="',COUNTRY,REGION,'.htm">',PREDICT,'</a>'); output;
run;

proc format cntlin=_F; run;


ods html file="%sysfunc(pathname(work))\test.htm"  ;

proc report data=sashelp.prdsale nowd out=abscols style(summary)=Header;
  column country ( region,(actual predict )) ('Overall' actual=act predict=pred);
  define country / group style(column)=Header;
  define region / across;
  define actual / sum format=links. ;
  define predict / sum format=links.;
  define act / sum format=comma12. style(column)=Header;
  define pred / sum format=comma12. style(column)=Header;
  rbreak after / summarize;
run;
 
ods html close;

	Region
	EAST		WEST		Overall
Country	Actual Sales	Predicted Sales	Actual Sales	Predicted Sales	Actual Sales	Predicted Sales
CANADA	127485	120646	119505	112373	246,990	233,019
GERMANY	124547	117579	121451	113975	245,998	231,554
U.S.A.	118229	120587	119120	121135	237,349	241,722
	370261	358812	360076	347483	730,337	706,295

You can check for duplicate values and add 0.00001 to differentiate between them if you want to be thorough.
