HI.  HAPPY NY~~

 

I have a question. 

 

How does one limit the number of digits to the right of the decimal to round to the tenth? 

 

For example:

 


proc means n mean stderr clm min max range data= avisits1;
vars

        var diff_bg          q_pre_gluc       q_post_gluc;
run;

 

 

I only want .Xth rounded.  

 

Thanks.

https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=proc&docsetTarget=n1qnc9bddfvhzqn105kqitnf29cp.htm&docsetVer... MAXDEC=number specifies the maximum number of decimal places to display the statistics in the printed or displayed output. MAXDEC= has no effect on statistics that are saved in an output data set. Default BEST. width for columnar format, typically about 7. Range 0-8 See Computing Descriptive Statistics with Class Variables Using a CLASSDATA= Data Set with Class Variables

 

 


PROC MEANS DATA=sashelp.class MEAN  MAXDEC=1;
 VAR height;
 run;

Thank you.

I hate to bother you, but is there any way that you could write it out in
code? I have problems reading the SAS documentation. I wish they had
examples b/c that's how most persons learn best.

If you can. If you can't, I will give a try, but I am hopeful.
