Good afternoon all.
I believe I have done this in the past but can't remember how.
In a proc report, can I place an N/A in a cell if the value isn't possible,
For example I have a report like this:
Brown White Green
Dog 3 2 0
Turtle 2 0 2
Since there is no such thing as a Green Dog or a White Turtle, I want to put the term 'N/A' into those cells, like so:
Brown White Green
Dog 3 2 N/A
Turtle 2 N/A 2
Is this possible?
Thanks.

You can use a user-defined format:
proc format;
value myFmt
0 = 'N/A'
OTHER=[8.]; <-- Or whatever format you want.
run;
Then just use this format for the variable you're displaying.
If it's missing and not zero, set missing to 'N/A' in the format.
Have you considered a custom format where . is set to NA. I personally wouldn't use 0, because you could 0 red dogs but it's possible they exist (Clifford the Big Red Dog probably doesn't count though).
proc format;
value miss_na_fmt
. = 'N/A'
other = [best12.];
run;;
