Proc report

[srav2]

hi,

I was trying to apply format in the proc report. But the order is not applied to the output. Below is my code.Please help.

proc format;
value $NAME
"0"= "Age (yrs)"
"1" = "   Number"
"2" = "   Mean(SD)"
"3" = "   Median"
"4" = "   Min : Max"
"5" = "Age group (yrs), N (%)"
"6" = "   <50"
"7" = "   50-59"
"8" = "   60-64"
"9" = "   >=65"
"10" = "Gender, N (%)"
"11" = "   Female"
"12" = "   Male"
"13" = "   U"
"14" = "Race, N (%)"
"15" = "   Black"
"16" = "   Asian/Oriental"
"17" = "   Causasian"
"18" = "   Other";
run;

proc report data = dm nowd headline spacing = 10 split="~";
columns _NAME_ _0_3_MG_KG_IV _1_0_MG_KG_IV _2_0_MG_KG_IV _2_5_MG_KG_IV TOTAL;
define _NAME_ /display " " style(column) = [asis=on] order = formatted format = $NAME.;
define _0_3_MG_KG_IV/display "0.3 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt1)" center;
define _1_0_MG_KG_IV/display "1.0 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt2)" center;
define _2_0_MG_KG_IV/display "2.0 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt3)" center;
define _2_5_MG_KG_IV/display "2.5 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt4)" center;
define TOTAL/display "Total~IV~(N=&cnt5)" center;
run;

Thanks

Order is not applied because you have put the numbers as character.  You have two options, you can sort the data using proc sort with the option of treating character as number:

proc sort data=have out=want sortseq=linguistic(Numeric_Collation=ON);

And then set order=data in your proc report.  Or preferably, make your _name _ variable numeric (and as that is a SAS created variable possible from a means or transpose or something, fix it before that), then your proc format would be:

proc format;
  value $NAME
    0= "Age (yrs)"
    1 = "   Number"
    2 = "   Mean(SD)"
...
run;

And it will sort correctly.

Thanks for your solution.

But im having a doubt.

which datset we need to take in proc sort data

[srav2]

hi,

I'm getting the following error. Please help.

 proc sort data = dm out=want;
780  sortseq=linguistic(Numeric_Collation=ON);
     ----
     180
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

781  run;

As I said, I recommend not doing it this way.  However:

proc sort data=dm sortseq=linguistic(Numeric_Collation=ON);
  by _name_;
run;
proc report data = dm nowd headline spacing = 10 split="~";
  columns _NAME_ _0_3_MG_KG_IV _1_0_MG_KG_IV _2_0_MG_KG_IV _2_5_MG_KG_IV TOTAL;
  define _NAME_ /display " " style(column) = [asis=on] order = data format = $NAME.;
  define _0_3_MG_KG_IV/display "0.3 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt1)" center;
  define _1_0_MG_KG_IV/display "1.0 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt2)" center;
  define _2_0_MG_KG_IV/display "2.0 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt3)" center;
  define _2_5_MG_KG_IV/display "2.5 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt4)" center;
  define TOTAL/display "Total~IV~(N=&cnt5)" center;
run;

First thing to try in is in the Proc Format to code to add (notsorted) after the name of the format.

Better to use a numeric not character variable to order the values. If you use the internal order of a variable that is character then "11" comes before "2" because the first character "1" comes before "2" at that is far as the sort goes.

Or change your character order variables and the associated so that the order is correct "01" not "1"  then "11" comes after "02" through "09" because the "0" comes before the first "1".

[RW9]

Provide some test data in the form of a datastep.  And show what code you are running.  I can't guess what the problem is.

Hi,

Can anyone please explain how to change the order of observations in proc report.

I tried creating format and applied in proc report. But it is not working.

I need the _NAME_ variable to be displayed in the order that is mentioned in the format.

proc format;
value $NAME
"0"= "Age (yrs)"
"1" = "   Number"
"2" = "   Mean(SD)"
"3" = "   Median"
"4" = "   Min : Max"
"5" = "Age group (yrs), N (%)"
"6" = "   <50"
"7" = "   50-59"
"8" = "   60-64"
"9" = "   >=65"
"10" = "Gender, N (%)"
"11" = "   Female"
"12" = "   Male"
"13" = "   U"
"14" = "Race, N (%)"
"15" = "   Black"
"16" = "   Asian/Oriental"
"17" = "   Causasian"
"18" = "   Other";
run;

proc report data = dm nowd headline spacing = 10 split="~";
columns _NAME_ _0_3_MG_KG_IV _1_0_MG_KG_IV _2_0_MG_KG_IV _2_5_MG_KG_IV TOTAL;
define _NAME_ /display " " style(column) = [asis=on] order = formatted format = $NAME.;

define _1_0_MG_KG_IV/display "1.0 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt2)" center;
define _2_0_MG_KG_IV/display "2.0 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt3)" center;
define _2_5_MG_KG_IV/display "2.5 mg/kg~IV~(N=&cnt4)" center;

• Specify a meaningful subject line for your topic.  Avoid generic subjects like "need help," "SAS query," or "urgent."
• When appropriate, provide sample data in text or DATA step format.  See this article for one method you can use.
• If you're encountering an error in SAS, include the SAS log or a screenshot of the error condition. Use the Photos button to include the image in your message.
  
• It also helps to include an example (table or picture) of the result that you're trying to achieve.

DATA. We need DATA to see what is going on.

Instructions here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-create-a-data-step-version-of-your-dat... will show how to turn an existing SAS data set into data step code that can be pasted into a forum code box using the {i} icon or attached as text to show exactly what you have and that we can test code against.
