Hi, I have created a format called knums and applied it to a test table.   Proc Format; value knums 1 = "One" 2 = "Two" 3 = "Three" 4 = "Four" 5 = "Five" Other = "Other Numbers"; Run;   Data Test; format nbr knums.; nbr=1; output; nbr=2; output; nbr=.; output; nbr=5; output; nbr=4; output; nbr=.; output; nbr=3; output; nbr=.; output; Run;   When I run a Proc Freq against the table I get missing values returned rather than the value set in the format. 　 Proc Freq Data=Test; Table nbr; Run;   The FREQ Procedure           nbr Frequency Percent Cumulative Frequency Cumulative Percent ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- One 1 20.00 1 20.00 Two 1 20.00 2 40.00 Three 1 20.00 3 60.00 Four 1 20.00 4 80.00 Five 1 20.00 5 100.00           Frequency Missing = 3     Why is this happening and what do I do to change the output?   Thanks in advance   K. ...
