Dear Experts,
I have a Questionnaire type dataset to evaluate the value of the boolean type (Y/N) questions.
I shared the sample dataset below for better understanding.
data aaa;
input ID Emp$ Gen$ Q1$ Q2$ Q3$ Q4$ Q5$;
cards;
132 Govt M Y N N N N
321 Prvt F N Y Y N N
159 Prvt F Y Y N N N
357 Govt M N N N N Y
;
I have to calculate the N(sum) and % of how many Y (Yes) checked.
I expect the result as
I tried with Proc Tabulate but it returns partial output.
proc tabulate data = aaa;
class Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Emp Gen;
tables (Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5)* all, Emp*(Gen);
run;
Please suggest a solution to solve the given problem.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much @Ksharp . Both solutions fit my expected result.
