Proc Tabulate percentage column

[mary_mcneill]

Hello,

I am trying to display percentages by year in a multi-dimensional table. Everytime I try to use the pctn I get the percent for the entire column, but I would like to get the percent Yes/No by year. Here is what I would like to see:

                                  2012                                      2013                               2014                   

                            Co-morbidity                         Co-morbidity                    Co-morbidity

                        No    %      Yes    %            No     %      Yes    %           No    %      Yes    %

Condition:       900   90     100    10           550   68.8    250   31.3

The way I have it now it is calculating the percent for the entire row for all years.

Thanks!

Without seeing the data, it's difficult to help, but if rowpct or colpct won't do what you want, this is likely a case where you're going to have to use a custom denominator for calculating percentages.

If you share the proc tabulate code we may be able to provide some more targetted hints. Example data and desired output would be helpful as well.

I figured it out... but here is how I did it if anyone else is wondering 🙂

table condition, year *(comorb*(N pctn<comorb>*f=pct.)) all;
