Hello,

I need help creating a contingency table from a dataset. I have a dataset in a form:

A X1 n1

A X2 n2

B X1 n3

B X2 n4 , where ni is number of observations in a group

and I need to make a contingency table from this dataset. How can I do that?

Many thanks!

Are you asking how to turn this into another SAS data set which is set up like a contingency table? Or are you asking for output (results window, such as html) that looks like a contingency table?
