Sam,

Since some values of subgroup contain multiple words, the easiest way to enter the data may be to manually add an extra space between the values of subgroup and count, and modify your input statement accordingly. E.g.:

data test;

informat subgroup $25.;

input Subgroup & Count Percent Mean Low High PCIGroup Group PValue;
