Create Table SQL, Round to Tenth, Export to Excel

[jcis7]

proc sql;
create table want as
select 'A' label='Variable',
 (select sum(A) from have) as All,
 (select sum(A) from have where SCHTYPE='PUBLIC') as Public,
 (select sum(A) from have where SCHTYPE='PRIVATE') as Private
from have(obs=1)
union 
select 'B' label='Variable',
 (select sum(B)from have) as All,
 (select sum(B)from have where SCHTYPE='PUBLIC') as Public,
 (select sum(B)from have where SCHTYPE='PRIVATE') as Private
from have(obs=1)
union
select 'C' label='Variable',
 (select sum(C) from have) as All,
 (select sum(C) from have where SCHTYPE='PUBLIC') as Public,
 (select sum(C) from have where SCHTYPE='PRIVATE') as Private
from have(obs=1)
union

 (select sum(D)from have) as All,
 (select sum(D)from have where SCHTYPE='PUBLIC') as Public,
 (select sum(D)from have where SCHTYPE='PRIVATE') as Private
from have(obs=1)
union
select 'E' label='Variable',
 (select (sum(A)/sum(B))*100 from have) as All, 
 (select (sum(A)/sum(B))*100 from have where SCHTYPE='PUBLIC') as Public,
 (select (sum(A)/sum(B))*100  from have where SCHTYPE='PRIVATE') as Private
from have(obs=1)
union 
select 'F' label='Variable',
  (select (sum(C)/sum(D)*100 from have) as All,
 (select (sum(C)/sum(D)*100  from have where SCHTYPE='PUBLIC') as Public,

Hi,

I have the code above and want to export the table into Excel with the percentage values for F and G rounded to the tenths. Is it possible to do so?

Thank you!

Yes, it's possible. 

What exactly is your question?

[jcis7]

How do you do it? Thanks.

For the percents, apply a PERCENT format. 

select 'A' label='Variable',
 (select sum(A) from have) as All,
 (select sum(A) from have where SCHTYPE='PUBLIC') as Public format=percent8.1,
 (select sum(A) from have where SCHTYPE='PRIVATE') as Private format=percent8.1
from have(obs=1)

Thanks.  The formatting doesn't stay when the table is exported. 

[Reeza]

That depends on how you export it. 

Use ODS EXCEL to maintain the formats. 

Or use PUT to convert the data to a character variable with the format.

char_var = put(old_var, percent8.1);

Please clarify: do you want to maintain your data at full precision but just display the values as rounded, or do you want to actually round the data as stored? If it's the latter then use @Tom's solution.

If you want to round the results use the ROUND() function.

select round(sum(C)/sum(D)*100 from have),0.1) as All  
     , ...

Thank you everyone!

 Two questions:

I just need the value rounded to the tenth exported into an excel worksheet.  I tried Tom's code and got the following error when I used the following code.

1.  What am I doing wrong? 

2.  What does (obs=1) do?

Any help you can give will be most appreciated.  Thank you!

proc sql;
create table want as
select 'C.' label='A-G',
  (select round(sum(A)/sum(F) from a.have),0.1) as All, 
 (select round(sum(A)/sum(F)   from a.have),0.1) where pub_priv='PUBLIC') as Public,
 (select round(sum(A)/sum(F)   from a.have),0.1) where pub_priv='PRIVATE') as Private
from a.have(obs=1);
quit;

You need to add a n after the first name. Which is why there's a best practice to not allow spaces and symbols in the name.

select 'C.'n label='A-G',
