I need to find mean and standard deviation for a data where my label option is not working when I want to change the variable name

 

The following is my data:

Data SAS;

input Obsvalue;

cards;

12.000

15.000

13.000

11.000

;

Run;

Proc Means data= SAS Mean STD maxdec=7;

Var Obsvalue;

Run;

Proc print data=SAS;

Var Obsvalue;

Label ObsValue='Observed Value';

Run;

 

 

The result is displayed without changing the variable name from obsvalue to Observed Value.

Can someone help?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

Use the label option on the proc print statement :

 

Proc print data=SAS label;
Var Obsvalue;
Label ObsValue='Observed Value';
Run;

Hi @SaranyaSundar 

 

As mentioned by @gamotte, PROC PRINT uses the name of the variable as the column heading unless you overrides this default behavior by using the keyword "LABEL" in the PROC PRINT statement.
