Hi SAS community,
I would like to format the proc format output. How do I get SAS to display the percent values rounded to 1 decimal? Can I add custom formats as well, specifically parentheses around the percent value? For example, ColPer = 55.25. I would like the output to read (55.3).
Thanks!eq
Look into proc tabulate instead and then the answer is yes.
You can with Proc Freq, but its much more difficult.
Look in

for similar discussion.
There is some difference whether you are doing one-way or cross-tabs as to approach if you must use Freq.
Tabulate or possibly Proc report may be better bets though.
