So lets say I have a Age group column with different ages. Can I group the data using proc format, in a way where if the data is less than  18 it formats it to="less than 18" between 18 and 64="18-64" and 64 plus "64 plus".

Setting up the format:

 

proc format;

value agerange low - <18 = "less than 18"

18 - < 64 = "18 to <64"

64-high = "64+"

;

run;

 

Using the format for grouping (just one example):

 

proc freq data=have;

tables age;

format age agerange.;

run;
