1. Creating Reports in SAS
By Ryan Davidson

2. Aims and Objectives
 To understand the different reports that can be created in SAS
 To use SAS to create a report
 To understand the features of the reports

3. Types of Reports
Detailed Reports
 Lists information at the observation level
of a data set.
 Procedures: PRINT, REPORT, SQL
(Structured Query Language), MEANS,
SUMMARY, UNIVARIATE.

4. Types of Reports
Summary Reports
 Summarize observations and produce
output such as frequency counts and
descriptive statistics.
 Procedures: PRINT, REPORT, SQL
TABULATE.

5. Types of Reports
Customized Reports
 List information in a style that is
different than the standard
output from a SAS procedure.
Often theses are produced with
DATA step programming.
 DATA step.

6. Types of Reports
Multipanel Reports
 Present multiple rows of
information side-by-side.
 Procedure: All procedures when
sending output to a non-listing
destination.

7. Example Raw Data

8. Example code
 PROC MEANS
 VAR statement = lap
times
 CLASS statement = driver

9. Results
 A basic summary report
 By default displays the minimum, maximum
and mean of the values.

10. Singling out statistics
 By adding “min” and “maxdec=2” this
singles out the lowest time to two
decimal places.

11. Results
 This produces a more defined report with the exact data
output that we needed.
 All values are a maximum of 2 decimal places
 The quickest lap times are shown

12. Adding Average Lap Times Chart
Example code to create a chart:

13. Using PROC REPORT
 This creates a simple report
using the PROC REPORT
function in SAS.

14. Formatting
 BREAK and other
statements can be
used to format the
report.

15. Summary/conclusion
 The report was successfully created using SAS and using different methods to
create the basis for a report which included a graph and charts to show the main
statistics.
