Proc Tabulate Totals

DavidPhillips2 — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 19:09:00 GMT

I’m trying to display two levels of sub totals and totals. Using three columns such that each column has totals of increasing detail and the grand total at the bottom.

This works for two columns but three I’m running into an issue with three.

Two columns (works)

proc tabulate data=enrollment out=enrollment3;

var enrolled;

class gender residency ethnicity academic_period_desc;

table gender*residency*ethnicity*enrolled=' ' all*residency*enrolled=' ', academic_period_desc;

run;

Three columns (question)

proc tabulate data=enrollment out=enrollment3;

var enrolled;

class gender residency ethnicity academic_period_desc;

table gender*residency*ethnicity*enrolled=' ' all*residency*enrolled=' ' all*residency*ethnicity*enrolled=' ', academic_period_desc;

run;

Two level example is attached.

You might describe what doesn't work.

You may want to investigate some code like

(all residency)*enrolled

(all residency)*ethnicity*enrolled

to see if that gives a better grouping for whay you are doing.

And provide example data if you want something testable.

BTW you example table output does not show "ethnicity" but the code you say works and generates the output includes ethnicity.

Just Guess:

class gender residency ethnicity academic_period_desc;

-->

class gender ;

class residency ;

class ethnicity ;

class academic_period_desc;

Hi, there's no benefit to multiple CLASS statements unless you are specifying different options on each CLASS statement.

You might be looking for multiple uses of All to get the different subtotals.

table (gender all)*(residency all)*(ethnicity all)*enrolled=' ' ,

academic_period_desc;

Thanks, I was having a really hard time researching this one.
