Customizing proc means output

_Manhattan — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 14:36:47 GMT

Good afternoon,

could anyone explain to me how to customize my proc means output? I am actually just trying to get rid of the "analysis variable: MSRP" part at the top of my output and somehow, I do not manage to find anything on the internet. My Output so far looks like this:

And my code like that:

proc means data=sashelp.cars;
class Make;
var MSRP;
run;

If anyone could help me with that, I would be really thankful.

Kind regards,

Jakob

Couple of choices. One is to create an output data set and then use Proc Print to display.

Or use a different procedure to summarize and control display such as Proc Tabulate or Report.

Here is an example with Proc Tabulate:

Proc tabulate data=sashelp.cars;
   class make;
   var msrp;
   table make='',
         msrp=' '*(n mean std min max)
         /box=make
   ;
run;

The reporting procedures will allow more control over output display then Proc Means/Summary.
