I'm running frequencies of variables that have thousands of different values.  But I'm only interested in the most frequently-occurring.  How can I limit the output to codes that make up, say, 1% or more of the total?  That is, in the frequency output table, the "Percent" column should be 1.00 or greater.  I'm currently using the following syntax to limit to a specified number of observations, but sometimes that approach leaves out values that I want to look at or include values that occur too infrequently to be bothered with.

 

 

PROC FREQ noprint ORDER=FREQ;
	TABLES DX_code /out=medicaid.countout_grp3;
PROC PRINT DATA = medicaid.countout_grp3(obs=100);

RUN;

You can use variable PERCENT in the output dataset:

proc print data=medicaid.countout_grp3;
where percent>=1;
run;
