I'm trying to produce some nice looking tables with the help of ODS Excel and Proc Report. You can see what I have acheived so far in the xlsx-file attached.
However, now I would like to add a line at the end of the table. The line should be of the same format as the lines above and below the colum headers row.
Can someone please advise me how to this? The code I'm using is attached below.

Thank you, Ksharp! Not exactly what I asked for, but you put me on the right track.
What I finally did to solve the problem is that I added an extra line under the table, but without summarizing the values. Then I formatted the background and line colours of that line so that it gives an impression of a blue line at the end of the table.
It's not a perfect solution since there will be a redundant row in the table. However, I do not think there exists a real solution except from manually formatting the table in Excel after the output has been generated.

bordertopstyle = solid
backgroundcolor= #ffffff
borderbottomcolor= #ffffff
borderleftcolor= #ffffff
borderrightcolor= #ffffff};
