Proc Report Format percentage

[K1235]

I have a dataset which one of the column has a value of "-0.75" but in proc report I want to display as "-0.75%". When I apply the format percent9.2 it converts to "(75.435)". But I want to display as "-0.75%".

data Percent;
format x BEST8. 
 p1 PERCENT7.1;
label x = "Raw value"
 p1 = "PERCENT7.1";
input x @@;
p1 = x;
 
datalines;
1.85185 3.44498 -0.92507 -0.7543456
;

proc print data=Percent noobs label; run;

Use the PERCENTN format and all is good

Thank you for replying @BrunoMueller. But PERCENTN didnt solve. It outputs as (75.43%). I want to display as -0.75%.

first divide your number by 100, then use the nlpctn6.2 format

Show the code. One suspects you missed the format spelling. And a value to appear as -0.75% would have to be -.0075 as a decimal.

data junk;
   x=-.007543;
run;
proc print data=junk;
   format x percentn10.4;
run;
