Hi,

 

I am writting constructing a table using proc report. One of the columns being displayed is a list of percentages

 

PercentUsed

99.267561

0.2447182

0.4967894

76.229856

 

How can I format this colum so that it appears as what is shown below, within the proc report table. 

 

PercentUsed

99.26%

0.24%

0.49%

76.2%

 

If I use the format=percent it times eveything by 100. So I get 9926 rather then 99.26

Create a PICTURE format like this:

proc format;

   picture pcent low-high='009.99%';

run;

 

 data _null_;

   PercentUsed = 99.34567;

   x = put(PercentUsed, pcent.);

   put x=;

run;

x=99.34%

You need to create a custom picture format:

proc format;
picture mypct low-high='000,009%';
run;

This is turning my 0.24567 into 0%. I need it to be 0.24%
