I want just one table from UNIVARIATE normaltest

Jbhammon — Mon, 08 May 2017 14:59:10 GMT

I am trying to get the table with the Shapiro-Wilk in it.

The "normaltest" command gives 7 tables, but I just want the one.

So if I had to several thousand variables, how could I restrict the output to just table per variable?

proc univariate data=my.data normaltest;
where time=0;
var weight;

Many thanks.

See the methods here to capture the results.

There's also usually an OUTPUT or OUT option in many procs that allow you to capture output. You can review the documentation for the procedure of interest to find the relevant syntax. Univariate has the OUTTABLE option on the PROC UNIVARIATE statement as well as the OUT statement.

https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/procstat/70116/HTML/default/viewer.htm#procstat_univariate_syntax21.htm

OUTTABLE=SAS-data-set

creates an output data set that contains univariate statistics arranged in tabular form, with one observation per analysis variable. See the section OUTTABLE= Output Data Set for details.

You may want to look at OUTTABLE

proc univariate data=my.data normaltest;
where time=0;
var weight;

ODS SELECT 'Tests for Normality';
RUN;

This line did what I needed. Thanks for the lead.
