How to Get SAS to Round Numbers to the Nearest Whole Number/Nearest Tenth, Nearest Hundredth, Etc.

[JackZ295]

Is there a way to get SAS to round a number (ex. sum, product, quotient) to the nearest whole number, nearest tenth, nearest hundredth, etc. after adding, multiplying, or dividing a series of numbers?

Use the Round Function?

Fully agree with @PeterClemmensen 

Round to the Nearest Whole Number

newvar = round(var,1)

Round to the Nearest Tenth

newvar = round(var,.1)

Round to the Nearest Hundredth

newvar = round(var,.01)

...

And one of the fun things with the SAS Round function is you can round to other multiples such as 7 or 0.3 if that is needed.

newvar = round(var, 7);
