Hello,
I am trying to make a report that that highlights some cells in a table.
I have a matrix (say IND) that contains column and row indices created in iml, and pass it to proc template routine to hightlight the cells that correspond to IND.
For example:
How can I write a program that template picks up the values defined in IND, and paint the cells properly?
Thank you.
PROC TEMPLATE's CELLSTYLE AS can be helpful here, but you will need to code your ROW / COLUMN combinations in PROC TEMPLATE, not IML. Here's an example:
ods path work.template(update) sashelp.tmplmst;
proc template;
define table Checkerboard;
cellstyle _row_=2 && _col_=3 as data{backgroundcolor=yellow fontweight=bold },
_row_=4 && _col_=2 as data{backgroundcolor=yellow fontweight=bold },
_row_=5 && _col_=4 as data{backgroundcolor=yellow fontweight=bold },
1 as data;
end;
run;
ods trace on;
proc iml;
tbl = TableCreateFromDataSet("Sashelp", "Class");
IND = {2 3,
4 2,
5 4};
call TablePrint(tbl) numobs=6
template="Checkerboard"
;
quit;
