Hi, 

 

I have a few numeric variables that I would like to concatenate and have the numeric variables with thousands separator format. How can I do this? An example of numeric variables (Mean & SD) and the format I want to report Mean (SD) is as below.

 

MeanSDMean (SD)
1110053250001,110,053 (25,000)
35505535035,505 (5,350)

Use the CATT functions to combine the values. Use PUT to convert to desired format. 

 

X = CATT(put(mean, comma16.), ' (', put(sd, comma16.2), ')' );

PS search lexjansen.com for macro clinical reports or macro table 1

Youll find tons of examples. One good one is Creating complex reports by Cynthia Zender @Cynthia_sas
