Hi,
I have the following code:
proc report data=sashelp.class ;
column
name
('measurements' age sex height weight);
define name /'Name'
;
run;
that produces the below output:
I wondered if I could modify the output as:
As you may see, I have merged the header "Name" with the cell above it.
Any help would much be appreciated.
Thanks
How would it be possible to move the "Name" into the first line?
Hi,
You could phrase it like that.
If possible, the end result would be like the below:
If one would do it in excel, they would just merge the two rows to put into the "Name".
Here is an example for EXCEL destination.
data table3way;
length dmtype durationbi $15;
infile datalines dlm=',' dsd;
input dmtype $ ordvar Durationbi $ Num cMean cSTD LowerCL UpperCL Prob_t;
return;

"Type 1",2,">10 year",44,75.30,13.06,71.32,79.27,0.7243
