The sample program below produces the attached HTML file (Win 7 32 bit, SAS 9.3 TS1M2). This is a simplified version of a much a bigger report that I'm currently doing by pre-processing the data and outputing with Proc Report. I want to switch to Proc Tabulate because that would allow me to eliminate the pre-processing step. The problem is I can't get Tabulate to format the output to meet the project specs. Specifically, the column headers' background color needs to vary by class level. I've got it for the class levels themselves using a format, but I want the statistic keaders under the class headers to "inherit" the color of their corresponding class level and I can't seem to get that figured out. To clarify, if you look at the example (tabtest.html), the backgrounds for "N" and "%" under the "Individual" header should be yellow, and the "N" and "%" under the "Group" header should be light green. Any advice on how I can get that? Thanks in advance!
