@Tom This is very helpful. Thank you very much. I've updated my code to use SYMPUTX().

Thanks everyone for your help! I know a little better on how macro variables work in SAS now. In my query, I am joining an existing table with values such as "No 2024 Revenue", thus I need to write my code to match the column in the case when statement to generate a new column in my working dataset. Regarding why I use compress in the macro variable, I generated &current_year using a call: data _null_; call symput('YTD_MTH', MONTH(today() - 25)); call symput('CURRENT_YEAR', YEAR(today() - 25)); run; I don't know why but when I invoke &current_year in my case when statement, the value is something like "No 2024 Revenue", that's why I am using compress to remove the lead blanks. Thank you again for your help.

Hi everyone, I was originally using two strings in the PROC SQL case when statements: case when Category in ('No 2024 Revenue', 'No Revenue 2024') then 'No Revenue' else 'Other' end as Rev_category I'd like to replace the year with a macro variable so I don't need to manually update it in the future. I created two macro variables as follows (I have defined "&CURRENT_YEAR" in previous steps): %let CONDITION1 = %bquote(')No %sysfunc(compress(&CURRENT_YEAR.)) Revenue%bquote('); %let CONDITION2 = %bquote(')No Revenue %sysfunc(compress(&CURRENT_YEAR.))%bquote('); and updated the case when to: case when Category in ("&CONDITION1", "&CONDITION2") then 'No Revenue' else 'Other' end as Rev_category; But this did not work. I figured maybe it's because when invoking the macro variables, the single quote did not work? But I am not sure. Could you please let me know what went wrong? Thank you!

Hi there, I am new to proc report procedures, and I would like to ask a question regarding calculated value, and using calculated value to generate another calculated value. For example, using the sample data below: (Fruit is spanned header) Fruit account apple pear peach sales 100 200 400 cost 40 110 180 I'd like to create a report using SAS proc report. Specifically, I'd like to calculate the profit, and profit % for pear only. The output should look like the following: Fruit account apple pear peach sales 100 200 400 cost 40 110 180 profit 60 90 220 profit% of pear 45% Both profit and profit% of pear are calculated values. Could you please teach me how to do it using proc report? Thank you.

Hi @PaigeMiller , thanks for helping out. Single quote works for me. Feel like this is one of those rare cases double quote is not working in SAS.

Hi All, I am having a question regarding how to mask "&" in data steps: Now I have a variable called "A&C name" in a table, when I call this variable using "A&C name"n, it returns an error showing that SAS interprets "&" as start of a macro var. I wonder how I can mask "&" here? I tried to search the discussions but didn't find a close match. Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to using proc report to generate reports. I am now stuck with a report that requires transposing multiple columns and would really appreciate your help. The original dataset I have in SAS is like the following: Ideally, I would like to make a report in the following way: If we ignore the format, I have two questions regarding this report: 1. How do I put the vehicle type at the top of sales/cost/profit? 2. How do I group by manager name? Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you all for answering my question! I think @Ksharp 's answer is most relevant to my situation, although I still don't know how to put year under months, but yeah, it's almost there.

Hi there, I would like to plot a series of revenue data on quarter and year using proc sgplot. The data I have is like the following: Year Quarter Revenue 2020 Q1 4,215 Q2 4,868 Q3 7,520 Q4 7,045 2021 Q1 6,653 Q2 9,113 Q3 4,676 Q4 2,933 2022 Q1 3,701 Q2 3,692 Q3 3,721 Q4 5,478 In Excel, I can make a series like the following: However, I can't figure out how to make X axis having quarter and year using proc sgplot like it did in Excel. Any tricks here please? Thank you.
