.What do you want your million format to look like? You need to provide an example otherwise we just end up guessing.
Variable SUM_AMT=1,234,567,890 and want VA report to display formatted SUM_AMT value as 1,234.46
The closest format is BESTw.
Could SAS create something like BESTRw. (aka BEST Roman)
Value > BEST6. > * (BESTR4.)
1,234 > 1.23 E3 > 1.23 K
1,234,567 > 1.23 E6 > 1.23 M
1,234,567,890 > 1.23 E9 > 1.23 B
1,234,567,890,123 > 1.23 E12 > 1.23 T
I would just create a new column that divides this one by 1,000,000. Then you can adjust the trailing digits after the decimal with the standard numeric format options.
Depending on the type of reports you are developing, VA can scale numbers automatically. For example I have a number of VA graphs where I have applied the SAS DOLLAR format to the source data and the graph automatically labels and scales the axes with "$ millions". You might want to check this out.
