Decimal Places in Proc means

SaranyaSundar — Wed, 22 May 2019 05:51:26 GMT

Is there any option to mention decimal places individually in Proc means?

Like if max dec=3 is mentioned in Proc means, it gives 3 decimal values for all the summary statistics. Instead, I need 4 decimal for Mean, Min Med and max 3 decimal places. can this be done?

Thanks

You can try the maxdec option as below

proc means maxdec=2;var WEIGHT HEIGHT;
Title 'Example 1b - PROC MEANS, limit decimals, specify variables'
run;

Likely your best approach would be to use Proc Means to generate an output data set with the OUT statement and then use Proc Print/Report/Tabulate to display the results where can control display formats per variable.

Or possibly go straight to Proc Report or Tabulate .
