Hello
I am using proc report to display data and calculate a new field.
I want that the rows in the output of Proc Report will be ordered by value of total_x (descending
Data tbl;
input branch X1 X2 X3 X4;
cards;
1 10 20 30 40
2 15 20 25 30
3 35 40 45 50
4 55 60 65 .
;
run;
proc report data=tbl headline split='#' spacing=1 nowd
style(report)={cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1}
style(header)={font_size=2 font_weight=MEDIUM font_face=david background=cx99ccaa}
style(column)={font_size=1};
columns branch X1 X2 X3 X4 total;
define branch/ display
"Branch" center;
define X1/ Display "X1 amount";
define X2/ Display "X2 amount";
define X3/ Display "X3 amount";
define X4/ Display "X4 amount";
define total/computed order=internal descending ;
compute total;
total=sum(x1,x2,x3,x4);
endcomp;
Run;
)
The log says it all. To be more specific, you can't use a computed value for ordering, as ordering in proc report takes place before values are computed.
Create the variable first, and then use it for ordering in proc report:
Data tbl;
input branch X1 X2 X3 X4;
total = sum(x1,x2,x3,x4);
cards;
1 10 20 30 40
2 15 20 25 30
3 35 40 45 50
4 55 60 65 .
;
run;
proc report data=tbl headline split='#' spacing=1 nowd
style(report)={cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1}
style(header)={font_size=2 font_weight=MEDIUM font_face=david background=cx99ccaa}
style(column)={font_size=1};
columns branch X1 X2 X3 X4 total;
define branch/ display
"Branch" center;
define X1/ Display "X1 amount";
define X2/ Display "X2 amount";
define X3/ Display "X3 amount";
define X4/ Display "X4 amount";
define total/order descending;
Run;
