Hi everyone, 

 

I am currently using Proc report to create a report consisting of numeric and character values. 

 

At the moment, I am trying to suppress any cells that show "." representing an empty numeric cell. Is there any way to take these away using proc report?

 

thanks.

The default missing value is a system option.

 

Options missing=' ';

before the Proc Report code would display a blank character for missing values in the report output.

reset to the default behavior using

options missing='.';

after the proc report.

 

Actually "suppressing cells" wouldn't make much sense in report output as that might tend to shift things around a lot. A more concrete of example of what your currently getting and what the desired appearance would be might generate suggestions. Data in the form of a data step and your report code using that data would be needed.
