Hi all,
First time posting, so apologies if I'm not doing this correctly.
I need to create reports where all the numbers are rounded to two decimal points. The code I have works, except for when the observation is a whole number. For example, 2.4378 will round to 2.44 like I want it to, but a flat 5 just shows up as 5. I would like it to show as 5.00 but am having trouble figuring out how to do so.
Here is one example:
data raw_deltas;
set &dat._p_;
%do i=1 %to &t;
t&i = round(t&i, 0.01);
%end;
%do i=2 %to &t;
delta&i = round(delta&i, 0.01);
delta_&i = round(delta_&i, 0.01);
%end;
run;
Thanks in advance!
Assign a format to the variable like F9.2 That will display the value as 9 characters including 2 decimals. Use a number larger than 9 if you need more positions. Generally any thing related to display of a single value can be resolved with a proper format.
Maybe
data raw_deltas;
set &dat._p_;
%do i=1 %to &t;
t&i = round(t&i, 0.01);
%end;
%do i=2 %to &t;
delta&i = round(delta&i, 0.01);
delta_&i = round(delta_&i, 0.01);
%end;
format t1-t&t. delta2-delta&t. delta_2-delta_&t. F9.2;
run;
