The following example shows the different types of reports that can be generated by PROC COMPUTAB.

Suppose a company has monthly expense data on three of its divisions and wants to produce the year-to-date expense report shown in Figure 10.1. This section starts out with the default report produced by the COMPUTAB procedure and modifies it until the desired report is achieved.
