Conditioning within Proc Tabulate

nsns — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 17:05:18 GMT

Hello,

Is there anyway that I can have a condition within a proc tabulate such that if for example when ord equals 1,3,4,5 (summarized continuous data - n mean std) then I have class, var and table statements and when ord equals 2,6,and 7 (summarized categorical data - counts and percents) I use different class, var and table statements. The reason why I need it in the middle is because the order of tables needs to remain.

Thanks in advance.

If I understand your problem correctly then no, you can't have conditional table statements within Proc Tabulate. What you can do is call Proc Tabulate multiple times and you can do this data driven.

Below some sample code to illustrate the approach.

%macro demo(type,name);
  %if &type=1 %then
    %do;
      title "Table type 1 for &name"; 
      proc tabulate data=sashelp.class;
        where name = "&name";
        class sex;
        keylabel n=' ';
        table sex;
      run;
      title;
    %end;
  %else
  %if &type=2 %then
    %do;
      title "Table type 2 for &name";
      proc tabulate data=sashelp.class;
        where name = "&name";
        class age;
        keylabel n=' ';
        table age;
      run;
      title;
    %end;
%mend;
%demo(James);

proc format;
  value $type
    'Alfred'
    ,'Joyce'
    ,'Judy'
    ,'Louise'
    ,'Henry'
    ,'James'
    ,'Jane'
    ,'Janet'= '1'
    'Jeffrey'
    ,'Alice'
    ,'Barbara'
    ,'Carol'   
    ,'John'
    ,'Mary'
    ,'Philip'
    ,'Robert'
    ,'Ronald'
    ,'Thomas'
    ,'William'='2'
    other = 'na'
    ;
run;

data _null_;
  set sashelp.class;
  by name;
  if first.name then
    do;
      cmd=cats('%demo(',put(name,$type.),',',name,')');
      call execute(cmd);
    end;
run;
