Concatenate two variables into one

Ayooo1 — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 20:42:34 GMT

How can I concatenate the count and percent into this form: xxx(xxx.x%) and round the percent to one decimal?

example data:

data CP;

input Treatment$ SEX$ COUNT PERCENT;

H1 Male 2 22.22%

H1 Female 7 77.77%

H2 Male 4 36.36%

H2 Female 7 63.63%

;

run;

So if you have actual percentages (so 0.2222 instead of 22.22 )

data CP; 
  input Treatment $ SEX $ COUNT PERCENT :percent.;
cards;
H1 Male 2 22.22%
H1 Female 7 77.77%
H2 Male 4 36.36%
H2 Female 7 63.63%
;

You could use the fact that the PERCENT format adds () around negative values to make it easier.

data want;
  set cp;
  length string $20;
  string=put(count,comma12.)||' '|| put(-percent,percent7.1);
run;

Obs    Treatment     SEX      COUNT    PERCENT     string

 1        H1        Male        2       0.2222    2 (22.2%)
 2        H1        Female      7       0.7777    7 (77.8%)
 3        H2        Male        4       0.3636    4 (36.4%)
 4        H2        Female      7       0.6363    7 (63.6%)
