Conditionally remove summary rows in Proc Report

tarunah — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 16:26:01 GMT

I would like to remove the average row when the mean for the total column is 0. For e.g. in the output below I want to delete the average row for Name = X since the average of Total column is 0.

Averages are calcuated as follows -

define a / analysis mean 'a' style={tagattr='format:###,###,##0.00'};
define b / analysis mean 'b' style={tagattr='format:###,###,##0.00'};
define c / analysis mean 'c' style={tagattr='format:###,###,##0.00'};
define total / analysis mean 'total' style={tagattr='format:###,###,##0.00'};

break after Name;

Date	Name	a	b	c	Total
02/11/2017	X	0.00	0.00	0.00	0.00
02/18/2017	X	0.00	0.00	0.00	0.00
	Average	0.00	0.00	0.00	0.00
02/11/2017	Y	45.00	0.00	7.50	45.00
02/18/2017	Y	45.00	0.00	4.00	45.00
02/25/2017	Y	43.00	0.00	5.00	43.00
03/04/2017	Y	21.00	0.00	2.00	21.00
	Average	38.50	0.00	4.63	38.50

Thanks for your help.

Whilst you may be able to do this in compute blocks, I tend to find it easier to get a dataset looking right before reporting it out. Easier to QC, and work with. So two steps:

proc report data=... out=want;
...
run;

data want;
  set want;
  if name="Average" and total=0 then delete;
run;

/* Now we actually report it out */
proc report data=want;
...
run;

Of ourse you don't need to use proc report, you could use other procedures.
