Group and subgroups coding

[analyst_work]

Hi,

I am trying to write a code whose output has the follwing format:

Group1                   Count     %

    Subgroup1         Count     %

    Subgroup2         Count     %

Group2                  Count     %

    Subgroup3         Count     %

    Subgroup4         Count     %

where subgroups are essentially a part of the groups.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks,

Neha.

Some applications support what is referred to as a MULTILABEL format to do such things. Only a few procedures such as Means, Summary and Tabulate support them.

Here are some examples with proc tabulate. Note that different options and how the format is defined affect the output.

/* To demonstrate that the order of definition affects appearance in
   multilabel formats. Also appearance options to show the spaces to
   get the indent as desired and fix column widths.
   And investigate whether class level format based style overrides work
with MLF in proc tabulate.  Result: NO.

You didn't give us some data to test yet ?

proc report data=sashelp.class nowd ;
columns sex age new_age pctn;
define sex/group noprint;
define age/group noprint;
define new_age/computed style={asis=on};
define pctn/format=percent8.2;
compute new_age/character length=20;
 new_age=cats('09'x,put(age,best8.));
endcomp;
compute before sex;
 new_age=sex;
endcomp;
break before sex/summarize;
run;

Like this?

proc tabulate data=SASHELP.CLASS;
  class SEX AGE;
  table SEX *(all AGE=' '),pctn;
run;
