How to color cells in SAS data table

[vegan_renegade]

Hi, I have no issue exporting to an Excel file with colored cells via proc report with compute block. However, I remember there was a time that the actual SAS table also had the colored cells. The proc report with out= option does not result in colored cells in the output table, only in the exported Excel file. Any insight on this?

I have never seen this. I doubt that it is possible.

This KB article describes colouring specific cells in output from a few different approaches (incl. proc report, proc tabulate, data step, etc).  I'm a little unsure if that's what you mean, or whether you think there's a way to have the cells in the source dataset coloured.

The data step part shows how to create an html-file with coloured cells. Having colourful datasets is not possible.

Yes, I agree.  That's why I made the comment that I was unsure of OP's intent.
