COMPUTE BLOCK in PROC REPORT

[cgsmoak56]

Hi,

I have the following compute block that works just fine.

compute dup_label;

if dup_label = 'Y' then do;
call define(_COL_,"style","STYLE={background=#ffa500}");
end;

endcomp;

If there is a duplicate variable labels in the dataset, it shades the value of 'Y' in orange.  I would also like in the report to shade the variable name and variable label in orange when the value of dup_label = 'Y'.  I tried the following compute block, but it had no effect on the variable name and label.

compute VARNAME;

if dup_label = 'Y' then do;
call define(_COL_,"style","STYLE={background=#ffa500}");
end;

endcomp;

compute VARLABEL;

if dup_label = 'Y' then do;
call define(_COL_,"style","STYLE={background=#ffa500}");
end;

endcomp;

Is there a way to accomplish this task of shading in orange the variable name and label when dup_label = 'Y'?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

When asking about Proc Report always include the entire procedure code. There are things that are dependent on the order of appearance on the  Columns statement for instance.

Basic rule of thumb: proc report builds the report from right to left. So if you use a compute block for a variable and reference a variable that appears to the right of that column then that part of the code doesn't see the bit to the right.

So this is a guess:

compute dup_label;

if dup_label = 'Y' then do;
   call define(_COL_,"style","STYLE={background=#ffa500}");
   call define('varlabel',"style","STYLE={background=#ffa500}");
end;

endcomp;

You can name a specific variable column to modify as well as the present column or row with _col_ and _row_ locations.

Hi,

Here is the full code for this section of the program.  Please look at the compute block for dup_label which I have bolded below.  This code does turn the cells in the dup_label column orange when dup_label = 'Y'.  However, it turn all cells for NAME and LABEL orange.  I only want them to be orange for the instances where dup_label = 'Y'.

Hi:

  I think I've spotted part of the issue.

  You should find that NAME and LABEL are set to your chosen color on every row, but only the dup_label=Y rows are being set conditionally. To test this, change the colors in the NAME and LABEL compute blocks to pink or green or some other color than #ffa500 (orange). The conditional highlighting in the compute block for DUP_LABEL will only override the rows where the condition is met. If you don't want these cells highlighted differently you might just delete the compute blocks for NAME and LABEL.

  Another comment, FLOW as a DEFINE statement option is ignored by ODS because it is a LISTING only option. the sub-option for flow='DATA' should be OK in ODS EXCEL, but it has nothing to do really with the FLOW option on the DEFINE statement. And I realize that you might not have shown your full code, but the STYLE(LINES) option seems to be unnecessary, since you don't have any LINE statements in your code.

  Hope this helps,

Cynthia
