Adding colors to your PROC FREQ output is useful when you want to highlight values. The sample program on the Full Code tab changes the color of the frequency cell values in the table cell based on the color assigned in the FORMAT procedure.

Please note that you can only add color to non-Listing destinations such as HTML, PDF, and RTF.
