Hi I am getting below format issue

 

proc format 
picture dollrfmt (round)
low - < 0 = '00,000)' (mult=.001 prefix='($')
0 - high = '00,000' (mult=.001 prefix='$');
run;

 

The number are represented below in 000 format as i want to represent the amounts in 000 's format but i am getting decimals which i don't want

 

$23,100.00
$5,182.00
$3,325.00
$2,070.00
$18.00

 

I am expecting the results in below format

 

$23,100
$5,183
$3,326
$2,070

 

 

I am using ods excelp xp tagsets and proc report,I am applying the format in proc report.

Excel doesn't always honor the SAS format unless you use TAGATTR to specify the override appearance once it gets to Excel in the proc report code.

 

I suspect that if you look at the cell in Excel for the number format you may actualy see it is set to a dollar format which will default to 2 decimals in Excel.

I think the first line below should probably do the trick in terms of a TAGATTR.  The second line below is an example from a PROC REPORT.  Different format, but it should give you an idea of what it would look like in a PROC REPORT.

[TAGATTR="FORMAT:$#,##0"]

DEFINE	TIP_PIN_N 	/	DISPLAY		STYLE(COLUMN)	=	[BACKGROUND=WhiteSmoke	TAGATTR="FORMAT:##########"	FONT=("Calibri",8pt) ];
