hello,

I'm trying to style an independent column label. I understand how to style in define sections, but how about a label? Let me explain by example what I mean:

proc report data=sashelp.class

style(header)=[color=blue background=aliceblue];

column ("Section" (""((name))))

        ("Another section"("Subsection"(sex age))) ;

define name / group style(header)=[backgroundcolor=alicegreen foreground=green fontweight=light];

define sex / group style(header)=[backgroundcolor=alicegreen foreground=green fontweight=light];

define age / group style(header)=[backgroundcolor=alicegreen foreground=green fontweight=light];

run;

And I'd like to style "Subsection" same as name,sex,age.

Hi,

You don't indicate ods destination.  I will assume RTF:

ods escapechar="^" noresults;

ods rtf file="s:\temp\rob\test.rtf";

proc report data=sashelp.class  nowd

style(header)=[color=blue background=aliceblue]; 

column ("Section" (""((name))))  

        ("Another section"("^S={color=green}Subsection" (sex age))) ; 

define name / group style(header)=[backgroundcolor=alicegreen foreground=green fontweight=light];  

define sex / group style(header)=[backgroundcolor=alicegreen foreground=green fontweight=light];  

define age / group style(header)=[backgroundcolor=alicegreen foreground=green fontweight=light]; 

run;  

ods rtf close;

Note the escaped style before Subsetcion where I change the color.  You can put fonts, sizes etc.
