I would like to add a total row to my table. Here is what I have:

 

Gender Freq Percent 
Males2025%
Females 6075%

 

Here is what I'd like:

Gender FreqPercent 
Males2025%
Females 6075%
Total80 

 

Just want the total there as its own row. What's the best proc to do this, as I realize you can do this a number of ways (tabulate, sql, etc.) 

 

Thanks!

FREQ with WEIGHT or FREQ statements as you'll also get the percentages automatically.
PROC PRINT will also do that...

The best proc depends on what you're doing next and why you're doing this in the first place.

Hi:

  Or, in the interest of completeness -- without a LINE statement and using an RBREAK statement, you can generate the report either with or without a total for percent:

Yes thought of it. Just seemed straight forward enough to use the computed memory value by the engine soon as a variable was defined analysis. Point taken. Thank you 🙂

Yes, it is straightforward, but the LINE statement may not align with the cells above as shown in the original pix of the desired output. The LINE statement output spans the whole table, and by default, the output from LINE is usually centered, so Total, would not always line up under Gender. So that's the side effect of RBREAK because RBREAK maintains the same number of cells on the break line.

Yes that makes sense. I agree! 🙂 Thank you!

 

Also , @Cynthia_sas  If you happen to know Jane Eslinger, please pass on my regards and gratitude to her for having authored that lovely proc report book. Kudos!!! I would say, a must read.
