Hi experts,

Is it possible to display ratio in VA report? e.g. 1:5 or 1:9.5 

Thanks!

If you mean fraction, then the answer is probably yes.
In a data step the fract. format does this job. In order to see it like fraction in VA you have to burn it as a char variable using the vvalue function.

data public.demo;
format datum ddmmyy10.;
sales=10;
datum='01jan2020'd;
do datum='02jan2020'd to today();
sales=rand("integer", 0, 20) + ceil(datum*0.0001) + ceil(rand("normal",3,2));
output;
end;
run;

data public.demo2;
merge public.demo public.demo(firstobs=2 keep=sales rename=(sales=lag_sales));
format vs_last_day fract.;
sales_total=sales+ceil(0.1*lag_sales);
vs_last_day=sales_total/lag(sales_total);
_vs_last_day=vvalue(vs_last_day);
drop sales;
run;
