This code is less sophisticated than RW9's code because it requires a dummy variable, but it might do the job:

Hi , Thanks a lot,

I have a query on it, what dummy for?

Thanks

data_null__

Remove it and you will see.

Its showing error that there is no variable associated with sales:

and can we getridof first heading "Area"?

data_null__
Jade | Level 19

Now you see that DUMMY is the little trick that makes it all work.  It is documented somewhere and I can't remember the "reason" that PROC REPORT works that way but you can look it up.

thanks

Just add a blank label to Area:

define area / ' ' across order=data;

OK. Make an order variable N .

data have;
input group a $ b c;
datalines;
1 A 23 20
1 B 34 32
1 C 29 12
1 D 24 10
;
run;

data have;
 set have;
 if a='A' then n=4;
  else  if a='B' then n=3;
   else  if a='C' then n=2;
    else  if a='D' then n=1;
run;


proc sql;
select distinct a into : list separated by '|' from have order by n;
quit;
%put &list ;
