color cells based on other cells values-proc report

Posted 08-17-2025 09:52 AM (532 views)

Hello friends,

I want to use proc report.

 

I wan to color the dif columns based on same cell value.
Here It was done 100% well.
If dif_P10>0.05 then I want to color  dif_P10 in red
If dif_P20>0.05 then I want to color  dif_P20 in red
If dif_P30>0.05 then I want to color  dif_P30 in red

 

I also want to color cells based on other cells values.

If dif_P10>0.05 then I want to color  P10 in red

If dif_P20>0.05 then I want to color  P20 in red

If dif_P30>0.05 then I want to color  P30 in red

and so on

Here I dont know how to do it.

Can anyone help please?

I tried use code with column location but it didnt work

PROC REPORT scan table from left to right.

So when you want to refer to left column base on right column, you need use right column within COMPUTE block.

		input P_IND_Prob mon  P10 P20 P30 P40 P50 P60 P70 P80 P90;

		0 202506 0.08 0.13 0.14 0.44 0.52 0.65 0.74 0.82 0.91 0.94
		;
		run;
		proc sort data=have;
		by mon;
		run;

		data have2;
		set have;
		by mon;
		dif_p10 =abs(p10-lag(p10));
		dif_p20 =abs(p20-lag(p20)); 
		dif_p30 =abs(p30-lag(p30)); 
		dif_p40 =abs(p40-lag(p40)); 
		dif_p50 =abs(p50-lag(p50));
		dif_p60 =abs(p60-lag(p60)); 
		dif_p70 =abs(p70-lag(p70));
		dif_p80 =abs(p80-lag(p80));
		dif_p90 =abs(p90-lag(p90));
		run;

As I understand you wrote 

compute dif_p90;

but you can type here any variable that appear in right of all dif variables  .

I didnt see any information to read about this rule -when you want to refer to left column base on right column, you need use right column within COMPUTE block

Yes. You are right.
As long as the variable in COMPUTE
compute dif_p90;
is at the right side of the variable you refer to (e.x. p90)

And If there is no any variable on the right?

For example:

If variables order is - IND MON dif_P10 dif_ P20  dif_P30  P10 P20 P30

And I want to -

color P10 bases on dif_p10

color P20 bases on dif_p20

color P30 bases on dif_p30

But as you can see-

dif_p10 is left to P10

dif_p20 is left to P20

dif_P30 is left to p30

Then use the right most variable P30:

compute P30;
if dif_p10>0.05 then call define ('P10',"style", "style={background=red}");

"I didnt see any information to read about this rule "
Why not make an example to test this rule ?

I see that the rule is true but I want to read a bit about it

The following is in the documentation under Required arguments:

report-item
specifies a data set variable, a computed variable, or a statistic to associate the compute block with. You must include the report item in the COLUMN statement. If the item is a computed variable, then you must include a DEFINE statement for it.
Note The position of a computed variable is important. PROC REPORT assigns values to the columns in a row of a report from left to right. Consequently, you cannot base the calculation of a computed variable on any variable that appears to its right in the report.

I would also suggest the following paper:

https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings15/SAS1642-2015.pdf
