Hi everyone,

 

I am fairly new to SAS and need your help. I have a dataset of school children with grades and food habits. Food habit section has five variables. each variable tells the no. of time one particular food is take. For example,

 

IDGradeFood AFood BFood CFood D
1017YesNoYesYes
1028NoNoNoYes
1037YesYesNoYes

 

How can I make a table showing grade and food food habit? 

  Frequency
Grade 7 
 Yes6
 No2
Grade 8 
 Yes1
 No3

 

 

Would appreciate your help.

 

Thank you.

 

Khalid

Try this to generate desired output:

 

data have;
input ID Grade FoodA $ FoodB $ FoodC $ FoodD $;
datalines;
101 7 Yes No Yes Yes
102 8 No No No Yes
103 7 Yes Yes No Yes
;

proc transpose data=have out=want;
by id grade;
var FoodA FoodB FoodC FoodD;
run;

 

proc tabulate data=want;
class Grade col1;
table grade*col1=' ',n='Frequency';
run;

One way

proc tabulate data=have;
   class grade fooda foodb foodc foodd;
   table 
             grade *(fooda foodb foodc foodd),
             n
   ;
run;

this does all the foods at once. Grade * fooda , n ; would do just fooda.
