PROC Report - RBREAK & Total Row

TashaChapman — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:11:55 GMT

I'm having some issues with PROC Report and I'm just banging my head against the wall here (it's probably something stupid)...

I'm passing my data through PROC Report twice - once to produce some calculations, etc., and the other to create the final report. The issue I'm having is with step two.

Here is the data:

AgeGroup	_C2_	_C3_	change1	pchange1	_C4_	change2	pchange2	_C5_	change3	pchange3
Less than 1	25126	25152	-26	-0.00103	25102	24	0.000955	23710	1416	0.05636
1 to 5	117318	117668	-350	-0.00298	118066	-748	-0.00638	87173	30145	0.25695
6 to 12	141621	141476	145	0.001024	137402	4219	0.029791	93923	47698	0.3368
13 to 18	102062	102078	-16	-0.00016	98468	3594	0.035214	65267	36795	0.36052

And here is my code:

ods pdf file="Test.pdf";

proc report nowd data=testrep;

column agegroup ("Jan-13" _c2_) ("Dec-12" _c3_ change1 pchange1) ("Jan-12" _c4_ change2 pchange2) ("Healthy Kids Baseline" ("Jun-09" _c5_ change3 pchange3));

define agegroup / display 'Age';

define _c2_ / display 'Current' format=comma12.;

define _c3_ / display 'Previous Month' format=comma12.;

define change1 / display 'Change' format=comma12.;

define pchange1 / display '% Change' format=percentn14.2;

define _c4_ / display 'Previous Year' format=comma12.;

define change2 / display 'Change' format=comma12.;

define pchange2 / display '% Change' format=percentn14.2;

define _c5_ / display 'Baseline' format=comma12.;

define change3 / display 'Change' format=comma12.;

define pchange3 / display '% Change' format=percentn14.2;

rbreak after / summarize;

run;

ods pdf close;

For some reason the Rbreak is not producing a total row like I would like. In the PDF, it is coming out completely blank. Anyone know why?

Hi, Tasha:

Several factors have to work together for PROC REPORT to generate a summary line at the end of a report:

1) you need an RBREAK AFTER/ SUMMARIZE statement (check)

2) the variables that you want to summarize cannot be DISPLAY (NOT check in the code you show)

I'd recommend changing some of the DISPLAY to SUM and see what happens.

I had a feeling it would be something like that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Actually, what I ended up doing is adding the rbreak to the first pass-through PROC Report statement. In the end I got an extra observation in my testrep dataset with the sums I needed. This also allowed me to give the row a header of "Total" in the dataset by changing the "AgeGroup" value for that row. So far it's working like a charm.
