Summary table based on PROC CONTENTS - need to add N and NMISS

[Norman21]

Hi,

I'm trying to produce a brief but comprehensive report on tables extracted from a database with SAS, for delivery to a third party for statistical analysis. The table below produced with PROC CONTENTS is just the sort of thing I'm aiming for, but there are two columns I'd like to add - N and NMISS for every variable (character, numeric or date).

Can anyone help with this? I'm running 9.2 on Windows XP.

Thanks in advance,

Norman.

Here is a sample of a table - sorry about the formatting; the columns align in my document!

SAS doesn't do that in one procedure. You are going to have to splice together the information from multiple procedures. You can use the ODS datasets to output the data and then merge it back together. You may actually find the Enterprise Guide "Characterize data" task gives you the additional information that you need; the statisticians will appreciate the additional distribution information from that task.
