I am trying to give some name in the box highlighted in the image, (for Grand Total and Subtotals)
im using the below code to produce the report,
Please help me.
proc report data=abc OUT=test;
columns YEAR1 OFFER_MONTH CNTRY_CD
Term Tier TOTAL_OFFERS;
define year1/ display "YEAR";
define OFFER_MONTH/display "OFFER MONTH";
define CNTRY_CD/ display "COUNTRY";
define Tier/group "Tier";
define TOTAL_OFFERS/ analysis sum "Sales" format=comma8.;
break after Tier /summarize dol dul;
Compute after ;
type="Grand Total :";
endcomp;
run;
Hi:
You did not use the code I posted when using the C_TIER variable. For C_TIER, you do NOT need to use the PRETEXT method. But now that you have included the extra information about Excel, the PRETEXT method that you're using now will ONLY work for SubTotal, it will NOT work for Grand Total, as illustrated in #1 in the program below.
You have a different issue once you move to Excel. The techniques I posted work fine in "regular" ODS destinations, but when you are using ODS Excel, to create output, Excel has a default way to treat a number in a cell -- you made C_TIER as a character string in SAS with a length of 11, but there is only a number in the cell -- so basically Excel ignores the SAS variable type and wants to treat that cell as a number. Which is fine for the subtotals, which do have the TIER value in them. But on the Grand Total line, there is no value at all, no number. So Excel ignores everything.
There is a workaround when you are wanting your output to go to Excel. It is shown in example #2.
In the future, when you post a question, it is ALWAYS important to know, up front, what ODS destinations you are going to use for your report. The destination you use might have an impact on the answer, as shown in this case.

Output #1 in Excel shows that Grand Total does NOT work with PRETEXT method in ODS EXCEL
Output #2 in Excel shows that simple assignment statement works (do NOT need PRETEXT), but must represent TIER values as Tier 0, Tier 1, etc
The code is below. NOTE that there are 2 different forms of TIER used in each program. #1 uses C_Tier and #2 uses C_Tier_Alt:
** original TIER is numeric;
** make a character version of TIER as C_TIER;
** make a second version of TIER as C_TIER_ALT;

length C_tier c_tier_alt $11;
input year Areacode country $ tier sales;
c_tier = put(tier,1.0);
c_tier_alt = catx(' ','Tier',put(tier,1.0));

It would have been useful to know you wanted Excel output at the beginning, you'll have to use a different Technique with Excel. The problem is that even if you make c_tier with a PUT function in SAS, Excel still wants to treat the column as a number when you get the report to Excel. And, while there is a number in the cell at the break for the subtotal line, there is not a number or anything for PRETEXT to be used with on the Grand total report line. So Excel will not use PRETEXT.
It will take me a few minutes to modify the program for ODS EXCEL. It's going to requre that you actually put the value as Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2, etc into the cell for TIER.

Hi:
You have two choices, depending on whether the TIER variable is character or numeric. Either way, you need a COMPUTE block. If the TIER variable was character, you would only need a simple COMPUTE block with an assignment statement, as shown in #2. But, if TIER is numeric, then you need to use a style override and use the PRETEXT style attribute to put a character string into a numeric cell. Code is below. Note that I changed your DATA step program to make the C_Tier variable for #2. (If TIER would be more than 1 digit, you would need to change the PUT statement accordingly.) In my test, I used a WHERE statement to restrict the rows on the report -- you would not do that for your final report.

(corrected step 2 to use c_tier. I accidentally posted incorrect code for step 2)
Thank you very much for your reply, suggested code works superbly, but I have got one more issue,
when I try to download that as excel using proc report the grandtotal coming as blank cell rest everything looks good,
could you please suggest me how I can achieve this?
Thank you very much..
