Hello
Please see examples of proc report with "computed" column.
I have some questions related to example1 /example2 please:
Why do we use "analysis mean"? It is not calculating mean here.It just show the values.
I have some questions related to example3 please:
Why the total row is not calculated here?
/*Example1*/
proc report data=sashelp.class NOWD;
Columns name sex age height weight ratio;
DEFINE name / display "Name" width=10;
DEFINE sex / display "Gender" width=6;
DEFINE age / display "Age" width=4;
DEFINE height / analysis mean "Height" format=8.1;
DEFINE weight / analysis mean "Weight" format=8.1;
Define ratio /computed format=6.2;
compute ratio;
ratio=height.mean/weight.mean;
endcomp;
rbreak after/summarize;
run;
/*Example2*/

DEFINE sex / display "Gender" width=6;
DEFINE age / display "Age" width=4;
DEFINE height / analysis mean "Height" format=8.1;
DEFINE weight / analysis mean "Weight" format=8.1;

ratio=_C4_/_C5_;

q1) it is because you use the mean here:
height.mean/weight.mean;
q2) because mean is not calculated.
You are using "
