To answer your first question, coloring cells is called traffic lighting, example of which can be found here:

For your second question with regards to merge rows and columns, you will need to provide further information, I see none of this in the attached file you posted. Generally speaking, merging cells is an Excel function not replicatable from SAS, however there are ways around this such as setting up columns which look like how you want the output to look.
