Good afternoon.  I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a while and have had no luck.  I will start by saying that, although I've used sas for a while now, the functions of proc report are still rather new to me.  That said, I have a group of variables that I wanted 2 headers for.  I was hoping to find a way to just color the background of the top header (Names) and not the entire header row. data person; input name $ dept $; datalines; John Sales Mary Acctng ; run; proc report data=person out=stuff style(report)={font_size=8pt} style(header)={font_weight=bold borderwidth=0 borderspacing=0 font_size=9pt }; COLUMN ("All Data" ("Names" Name) ("Department" Dept)); define Name / display style(column)=[cellwidth=1.2in]; define Dept / display style(column)=[cellwidth=1.2in]; run; I've tried using call define, but can't figure out how to use that method to target just the cell that the header appears in.  I've also tried to manipulate the style in the column statement to no avail.  Hoping there's a rather easy method to this madness that doesn't require me to be an advanced coder to sort out.  Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. ...
