FORMAT VALUES WITH COMMA

[guilhermeagc]

Hi friends, 

I have imported an Excel sheet with a value, and i need to change de format.

Example: The value in excel is 342554.1294

I think the correct value is 34.255,41

Anyone know how i can format it in a computed Column?

I'm importing the sheet by import task in SAS GE

This is hardly a SAS question? 🙂

If you have the value 342,554.1294 and you want it to display as 32,255.41 then you need to divide by 10.

If you want the decimal point and thousands separators meaning reversed then try using the COMMAX format. Or perhaps one of the NLNUM formats.  If you specify the decimal digits as 2 on the format then the fractional part will be displayed as 41 instead of 41294.  Make sure when specifying the overall width to include room for the decimal point and thousands separators.

It Works, Tom!
