Proc tabulate for _numeric_

SASdevAnneMarie — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 10:01:04 GMT

Hello Experts,

Is it possible to create the report with proc tabulate only with _numeric_ variables ? I would like have a list of variables at the right.

I would like to use the proc tabulate because I would like to display the formatted statistics values.

My code is :

proc tabulate data=bdd;
	var _numeric_;
	table var,_numeric_*(N mean std var cv median max min q1 q3);
run;

proc tabulate data=sashelp.class;
	var _numeric_;
	table _numeric_,(N mean std var cv median max min q1 q3);
run;

Beware of _numeric_ with data sets containing date, time or datetime values as many statistics won't be very useful for them.
