I am having trouble calculating the % of total for the 2nd level in my nesting. I get the error "PctSum base is not in table. A PctSum crossing has no denominator"
here is my code:
proc tabulate data=c2 missing;
class yrmon status item_status_at_order daysonsale;
var demandafterdisc;
table yrmon='' * ((status='' all=' ')
* demandafterdisc=' ' * f=dollar12. * sum=' ' demandafterdisc=' '*pctsum<status all>),
item_status_at_order=' ' all='Total' daysonsale=' ' all='Total';
format daysonsale sale. item_status_at_order $cmat.;
title1 ' ';
run;
Here's the change I would try. You now have this line:
* demandafterdisc=' ' * f=dollar12. * sum=' ' demandafterdisc=' '*pctsum<status all>),
Try this instead:
* (demandafterdisc=' ' * f=dollar12. * sum=' ' pctsum<status all>)),
As it stands now, the space before the second DEMANDAFTERDISC= means that the only classification variable being used is YRMON.
This recommendation untested, as you might imagine. So let's see what happens.
new error - maybe i'll just move the table without the % to EXCEL and calc...

May want
* (demandafterdisc=' ' * f=dollar12. * (sum=' ' pctsum<status all>) )),
