Forcing cells with 0 counts in Proc Report

jpeevy — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 16:01:37 GMT

I have been struggling to force cells with a '0' to appear in my proc report. For instance:

	term1	term2
apples	0	0
oranges	2	10

However, since there are 0 entries on the entire row for apples, it will not appear on my report. I have read articles on how to do this for proc trabulate with the 'classdata' option. However, I can't figure it out when using the proc report feature. If anyone can offer advice, or point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

thanks!

Use the PreloadFMT with proc report:

Hi:

In PROC REPORT, you can use COMPLETEROWS or COMPLETECOLS to "complete" columns or rows for which there is no data. For example, there are no age 16 females in SASHELP.CLASS. Consider the difference in the following code in these 3 examples. Output is shown in the screen shot. You can experiment if you are using an ACROSS variable with COMPLETECOLS and PRELOADFMT. Also, you should be sure to set the SAS system option:

options missing=0; to be sure that the usual . for missing appears as 0.

define age / group;

define sex / group f=$sexf. preloadfmt;

thanks guys! COMPLETEROWS looks like the way to go
