Proc Tabulate - treating only one class variable as descending

deleted_user — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 16:52:42 GMT

I see that one can say /descending on a Class Statement in Proc Tabulate. However, all variables in the class statement are ordered descending. I want only one variable - the date - to be ordered descending. Other than to trick sas with a format, is there a way?

Thanks,
Teresa

Use multiple class statements. You can have as many as you like:

Class var1 / order=data;
Class var2 / order=descending;
Class var3 / order=formatted;
