33
Objectives Create user-defined formats. Apply user-defined formats.
34
Business ScenarioRegional managers want to compare profits based on regions, rather than on individual countries. You can create and apply a user-defined format to summarize data based on labels rather than raw data values.
Region Countries
Africa ZA (South Africa)
Asia/Pacific IL (Israel), TR (Turkey), AU (Australia)
Europe DE (Germany)
North America US (United States), CA (Canada)Formattedvalues ofCountry
Formatted values of Order_Type
35
User-Defined FormatsYou can create custom formats to display data values with more descriptive or alternative labels.
36
User-Defined FormatsUser-defined formatting is a two-step process.
1. Create a format definition.
2. Apply the format to specific column(s).
37
Create Format TasksTwo tasks are available to create a user-defined format. Create Format Create Format from Data Set
(new in SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3)
38
Create Format: OptionsThe Create Format: Options window enables you to name the format and determine the type and storage location.
39
Create Format: Define FormatsThe Define formats window enables you to define a list of labels that apply to discrete data values or ranges.
40
Create Format from Data SetUse the Create Format from Data Set task to create a format based on values in an existing data source.
41
User-Defined FormatsUser-defined formatting is a two-step process.
1. Create a format definition.
2. Apply the format to specific column(s).
42
Applying Formats in Tasks (Review)You can apply custom formats in the same places that formats defined in SAS can be used.
43
Applying Formats: User Defined CategoryThe User Defined category includes any formats either stored permanently or created during the current SAS Enterprise Guide session.

5.03 Quiz – Correct AnswerWhat are some of the advantages of using user-defined formats?
Possible Answers: Create the format once and use it wherever it is
applicable. Formats can be shared among users. Formats can be applied in tasks, queries, and
programs. Formats do not require the creation of additional
columns.

Chapter Review1. In a wizard, you cannot modify the properties of a
column. What is another consideration for using a wizard versus the task dialog box, if both are available?
2. If the task dialog box offers so much more, then why use the wizard?

Chapter Review Answers1. In a wizard, you cannot modify the properties of a
column. What is another consideration for using a wizard versus the task dialog box, if both are available?
2. If the task dialog box offers so much more, then why use the wizard?
The wizard does not have all the options/choices that are available in the task dialog box.
The wizard interface provides selections that can quickly generate a result, often with all the choices you need. If you do need additional options, then you can convert the wizard to Advanced View.

Chapter Review3. In the Summary Statistics task, the analysis variable
must be a numeric variable. What type of variable is usually used in the Classification role?
4. Is a format only available in the project that defined it?

Chapter Review Answers3. In the Summary Statistics task, the analysis variable
must be a numeric variable. What type of variable is usually used in the Classification role?
4. Is a format only available in the project that defined it?
A categorical variable is used in the Classification role. This is usually a character column such as State or Zip Code. It can be a numeric column such as Year, storing a four-digit year value, or Day_of_Week, storing the values 1 through 7, representing the different weekdays.
No, a format, if stored in a permanent location, is available to different projects, even different SAS Enterprise Guide users.

values case sensitive?
