Hi!

I would like to get some help regarding proc report.


Below is my dataset;
t1            Sum1     Sum2     Sum3

Totalt    0,1          0,25        0,13

Borjade  2              5              5

Slutade 8              20           8

I would like to get a report that look like this and that the observation "Totalt" has a format with percentage and the other observations have another format;

t1            Sum1     Sum2     Sum3

Totalt    10%      25%        13%

Borjade 2           5              5

Slutade 8            20           8

My problem is that I can’t mix formats in the variables, I have tried to compute a dummy variable without success.
Does anyone knows what I’m doing wrong?
Below is my code.

ods listing close;

option missing='' nonumber nodate topmargin=0.5in leftmargin=0.5in rightmargin=0.4in papersize=(29.7cm 21.0cm)  NOQUOTELENMAX;

ods escapechar="~";

ODS HTML close;

ods pdf bookmarkgen=no file="G:\test\report.pdf" notoc;

proc report data=report nowd completerows contents="" nocenter;

    columns t1 sum1 sum2 sum3 dummy;

    define t1 /   style(column)={cellwidth=100};

    define sum1 /  style(column)={cellwidth=100};

    define sum2 /   style(column)={cellwidth=100};

    define sum3 /   style(column)={cellwidth=100 };

    define dummy / noprint;

    compute dummy;

        if _NAME_ = 'Totalt' then do;

                call define(_col_, 'format', 'percent9.2');

            end;

    endcomp;

run;

Just my preference, I would convert all the columns into character then put that in the report.  This is just a preference as I like my underlying data to look more or less like the output.

It looks like you have character data anyways as the comma is not valid in numerics:

Totalt    0,1          0,25        0,13Totalt    0,1          0,25        0,13

Sorry, my bad.

The variables Sum1, Sum2 & Sum3 has dots instead of commas.

My dataset looks like this;

t1            Sum1     Sum2     Sum3

Totalt    0.1          0.25        0.13

Borjade  2              5              5

Slutade 8              20           8

Hi:

  You should investigate using CALL DEFINE in a COMPUTE block. CALL DEFINE allows you to change the format for a column very easily. Consider the following example. The overall format is set to 9.3 for the mean of HEIGHT and WEIGHT. Then, for age=12, the format is set to percent9.2 (completely silly format); for age=13, the format is set to comma9. (no decimals) and for age=16, the format is set to comma9.1 (1 decimal place). You should be able to run the code since it uses SASHELP.CLASS.

ods html file='c:\temp\diff_fmt.html';

proc report data=sashelp.class nowd;
column age ('Average' height weight);
define age / group;
define height / mean f=comma9.3;
define weight / mean f=comma9.3;
compute height;
  if age = 12 then do;
     call define(_col_,'FORMAT','percent9.2');
  end;
  if age = 14 then do;
     call define(_col_,'FORMAT','comma9.');
  end;
  if age = 16 then do;
     call define(_col_,'FORMAT','comma9.1');
  end;
endcomp;
compute weight;
  if age = 12 then do;
     call define(_col_,'FORMAT','percent9.2');
  end;
  if age = 14 then do;
     call define(_col_,'FORMAT','comma9.');
  end;
  if age = 16 then do;
     call define(_col_,'FORMAT','comma9.1');
  end;
endcomp;

run;
ods _all_ close;

Thanks Cynthia, that was such an easy way to solve my problem!

Again, just my preference:

data want (drop=i);

     set have;

     array sum_c{3} $200.;

     array sum{3};

     do I=1 to 3;

          if t1="Totalt" then sum_c{I}=strip(put(sum{I},percent9.2));

          else sum_c{I}=strip(put(sum{I},best.));

     end;

run;

proc report ....

columns sum_c1-sum_c3;
