should i use PROC tabulate or?

[magicdj]

I try to display N MEAN(SD) se cv q1 median q3 [MIN; MAX] geomean by age group

MEAN(SD) [MIN; MAX] should be display like that in character format.

but, my result is like that:

I have picture format and prefix, but still missing ( or [, also the header Mean and (SD) separate from each other.

I don't know what's the best way to solve the problem.

hope to get some help.  thanks a lot

For the desired format, the fastest solution is to create the data into a data set and then use PROC PRINT/REPORT to display. Use the CATT or CATX to create the variables with STD in brackets and such.

thanks, Reeza and ballardw. I believe I need to use proc means and proc report to display. anyone has sample code to create a table like this? thanks a lot

This modifies your std format a bit and uses some different style options. See if it gets close to what you want

proc format library=work;
picture mnf (round) 

low-high = '009.99';
	picture sdf  (round)

low-high = ' 009.99)' ( prefix = '(' )
	                  .= '(N/A)' (noedit)
 ;

	picture minf  (round) 
low-high = '009.99;'
      ( prefix = '[' );

	picture maxf  (round)
low-high = '009.99]';
   run;

PROC tabulate data=all  ORDER=data; 

  CLASS age;   
   VAR  n0  se0 cv0  q10  median0  q30 MIN0 MAX0 geomean ;
   VAR  MEAN0 /style=[just=R borderrightwidth=0];
   var SD0 /style=[just=L borderleftwidth=0 ] ;
   keyword mean / style=[just=R];
keyword StD / style=[just=L];
   TABLE   age=""   , 
(
	n0='n'*max=''*f=4.  
    mean0='Mean'*max=''*[style=[just=R cellwidth=70 borderrightwidth=0]]*f=mnf.
	SD0='(SD)'*max=''*[style=[just=L cellwidth=75 borderleftwidth=0 ]]*f=sdf.
	SE0='SE'*max=''*f=8.2 
	cv0='CV%'*max=''*f=8.2 
	Q10='Q1'*max=''*f=8.2 
	median0='Median'*max=''*f=8.2  
	Q30='Q3'*max=''*f=8.2 
    min0='[Min;'*max=''*f=minf. 
	max0='Max]'*max=''*f=maxf.
	geomean='gmean'*max=''*f=8.2 
	
) 

     /  misstext='---' box=" age"  RTS=30  ;   
RUN;

You may want to look at the CELLPADDING style element if the space between the mean and std seem excessive or too small.
