Dealing with missing values & removing header columns Using proc Report

[deleted_user]

I have a dataset named grocmiss and for few of the columns in this dataset there are missing values.When I use this missing values in the report compute block for missing values the report display it as dot.

1 2 3 4 5
Sector Sales Sales Sales Sales Sales
ne . . . . $596.00 .
nw . . $690.00 $598.00 .
se $130.00 $630.00 . . .
sw . . . . $353.00
$130.00 $630.00 $690.00 $598.00 $949.00

Whereever there is DOT I want the report to be displayed as SPACE or ZERO. Secnod requirement is I dont want the header Sales to be displayed in the output but the values to be summarised.

Please help me.

Here is the code:-

data grocmiss;
input Sector $ Manager $ Department $ Sales @@;
datalines;
se 1 np1 50 . 1 p1 100 se . np2 120 se 1 p2 80
se 2 np1 40 se 2 p1 300 se 2 np2 220 se 2 p2 70
nw 3 np1 60 nw 3 p1 600 . 3 np2 420 nw 3 p2 30
nw 4 np1 45 nw 4 p1 250 nw 4 np2 230 nw 4 p2 73
nw 9 np1 45 nw 9 p1 205 nw 9 np2 420 nw 9 p2 76
sw 5 np1 53 sw 5 p1 130 sw 5 np2 120 sw 5 p2 50
. . np1 40 sw 6 p1 350 sw 6 np2 225 sw 6 p2 80
ne 7 np1 90 ne . p1 190 ne 7 np2 420 ne 7 p2 86
ne 8 np1 200 ne 8 p1 300 ne 8 np2 420 ne 8 p2 125

proc report data=grocmiss nowd headline ;

define sector / group format=$sctrfmt.;

Try this:

data t;
length name $20 age 8;
name = 'Kalle1'; age = 10; output;
name = 'Kalle2'; age = .; output;
name = 'Kalle3'; age = 12; output;
name = 'Kalle4'; age = 13; output;
name = 'Kalle5'; age = .; output;
run;

proc format;
picture nice
. = ' '
low-high = '000 000 000 000';
run;


proc report data = t;
column name age;
define name / 'Namn';
define age / '' format=nice.;
run;
