How to compute column in proc report with Across .

[Cynthia_sas]

Hi, well, with nestings like that, PROC REPORT thinks you have the possibility of 48 total ACROSS columns 3 variables (total, defects,percent) times 4 possible values for DOW times 4 possible values for DATE -- so 3*4*4 = 48. You can prove this to yourself by getting rid of the NOZERO and something like this is what you see:

So unfortunately when you nest multiple variables in the ACROSS you are telling PROC REPORT to make absolute column numbers for all the POSSIBLE combinations - not all the ACTUAL combinations.

If this is what you want:

I did that with a user-defined format:

** need to use ^ as the split character in PROC REPORT step;
  
proc format;
  value dtdow '14sep17'd = '09/14/2017^Thu'
              '15sep17'd = '09/15/2017^Fri'
              '16sep17'd = '09/16/2017^Sat'
              '17sep17'd = '09/17/2017^Sun';
run;

Proc report data=TEST  split = '^'
	style(summary)=Header
	style(column)=[font_size=8pt] nowindows;
column WIDGET 
		DATE, (TOTAL DEFECTS PERCENT);

define WIDGET / group   '  Widgets  ' style(column)={just=left  };
define DATE   / across   '  Date  ' FORMAT=dtdow.
				style(column)={just=center  } 		;
 define TOTAL  /  sum  'TOTAL' F=COMMA7. 
               STYLE(column)={just=center };
define DEFECTS /  sum  'DEFECTS' F=COMMA7. 
                STYLE(column)={just=center };
define PERCENT/ computed 'PERCENT' f=PERCENT9.2 
                style(column)={just=center }  ;

compute PERCENT;
_c4_ = _c2_ / _c3_ ;
_c7_ = _c5_ / _c6_ ;
_c10_ = _c8_ / _c9_ ;
_c13_ = _c11_ / _c12_ ;
endcomp;

rbreak after / summarize;
Run;

I did not bother using all of your cellwidths because I don't use cellwidths without a unit of measure and I did not use TAGSETS.EXCELXP because the column headers and nestings for ACROSS will be the same no matter what destination you use.

Hope this helps.
