Hi SAS-VA community,

 

I am trying to display a scorecard with 4 columns as a table: metric, value, average, and percent delta from the average. Ideally, I would like the negative percent changes to display in parenthesis such as they do with the PERCENTw.d format in base SAS; So I want -x.xx% to become (x.xx%).Unfortunately when applying the PERCENTw.d format to the delta column in my custom query in SAS-VA the negative percentages are still displayed as -x.xx%, not (x.xx%)

 

Does anyone know how to fix this display issue?

 

Thanks!

Well that's strange. That's the behaviour of PERCENTNw.d. What happens with that format?

Thanks for the response SASKiwi, unfortunately PERCENTNw.d yields the same results.

I checked SAS Notes on this and couldn't find anything. I suggest you open a track to SAS Tech Support if you haven't done so already. The only workaround I can think of is a custom PICTURE format and these are explicitly not supported in VA.
