Spreadsheet Calculations and Financial Report Generation
The COMPUTAB procedure generates tabular reports
using a programmable data table.
The COMPUTAB procedure is especially useful when you need
both the power of a programmable spreadsheet and a report generation system,
and you want to set up a program to run in batch mode and
generate routine reports.
The COMPUTAB procedure includes the following features:
- report generation facility for creating tabular reports
such as income statements, balance sheets,
and other row and column reports for analyzing business
or time series data
- can tailor report format to almost any desired specification
- uses the SAS programming language to provide complete
control of the calculation and format of each item of the report
- reports definition in terms of a data table on
which programming statements operate
- a single reference to a row or column brings the entire row
or column into a calculation
- can create new rows and columns (such as totals, subtotals, and ratios)
with a single programming statement
- access to individual table values is available when needed
- built-in features to provide consolidation reports over summarization
variables
