Hello!

I am currently working organizing statistical results which requires outputting p-values <0.0001. Rather than having the results display as zero, such as:

I would like for my p-values to be displayed as:

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks!

Hello @steeleye,

That's what the PVALUEw.d format was designed for.

Example (using the default w and d values):

data _null_;
input p;
put p pvalue.;
cards;
0.1234
0.01
0.001
0.0001
0.000099
0.000032
;
