Suppressing labels in Proc Freq

xtc283x — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 14:27:48 GMT

Hello-

I'm running a 2-way crosstab in Proc Freq and am dumping the output into Excel using the ODS HTML output options. Proc Freq always pads the output with two columns.

The first column has this information in it:

"Frequency

Percent

Row Pct

Col Pct"

While the second column is blank.

What are the options that will suppress these two columns?

Thank you.

You could try the LIST or CROSSLIST options on the TABLES statement to see if that gets you close to what you want.

Thanks for the tip on the CROSSLIST option. That solved another question I had. But it doesn't fix my original question. I still need the suppressing options for the two columns.

A similar question was asked in this thread. The recommendation: you could use PROC TABULATE (or REPORT) instead for more control of your report appearance.

Reluctantly good suggestion. Thanks.
