Hexadecimal Colors in Proc Tabulate

OPHD1 — Tue, 14 May 2013 18:19:46 GMT

Is there a way to use hexademical or RGB colors within proc tabulate to use custom colors?

For example,

proc tabulate data = example;

class measure measure1;

class lev measure1 / style = {background = blue};

If I were to use this blue: Hexademical 0xF1E5DB or RGB 219 229 211

I tried:

class lev measure / style = {background = 0xF1E5DB}

class lev measure / style = {background = '0xF1E5DB'}

class lev measure / style = {background = '0xF1E5DB'x}

Thank you for your help

Try using this -

class lev measure / style = {background = '#F1E5DB'}

What output destination are you using, HTML, RTF, PDF or XML/EXCEL?

Four different color systems use hex coding in SAS; RGB, CMYK, HLS and HSV.

If you have SAS Graph there are several macros available for creating codes starting with %helpclr to provide help for the specific color macros.

Check out Color-Naming Schemes in the SAS/GRAPH reference.
