Hi Everyone I have come across an issue that I was hoping someone could help me solve. I have a data set with 120 observations. I would like to see how many times various combinations of five variables present themselves within the data. According to my calculations there are 31 possible unique combinations of the 5 variables. What I would like to see is how many times each of these 31 combinations are present within these 120 observations. A table of the possible combinations is listed with the 5 variables represented as A, B, C, D, and E. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This should do it:
proc freq data=have;
tables a * b * c * d * e / missing list;
run;
The number of combinations of values could be much larger depending on what values your variables take on. But you'll see that soon enough.
Good luck.
