I have annual databases I bring together to generate summaries over several years worth of data and the tables typically statement that looks like this

table anyoldvariable , year * dummy * sum ;

which gives me a table that looks like this

In the past I just pasted into excel to calculate the percentage change between the first year and the last year but our reports are to be rewritten so no "manual interference" is required

Can proc tabulate do this or do I need to learn proc report or do a proc summary a transpose and manual calculation?

hi,

if you need the differnce  b/n two years you can go with proc compare....

data have;
input employement &$28. @29 y_2005 comma7.@37 y_2006 comma7. @45 y_2007 comma7.;
format y_2005 comma7. y_2006 comma7. y_2007 comma7.;
datalines;
in the nursing labour force 253,592 254,956 277,297
employed in Nursing         243,916 244,360 263,331
clinical nurse              203,517 196,998 212,480
;
run;


proc compare base=have nosummary out=year_per;
var y_2005;
with y_2006;
var y_2006;
with y_2007;
run;

i think , you can go with with steps ...proc transpose ...and lag () function also ....but please check this ....

Astounding
PROC Star

You're probably right that the best tool for the job is PROC REPORT.  But you can get PROC TABULATE to do this if you perform the calculations in a DATA step.  Consider having your current PROC TABULATE generate an output data set rather than a report.  It is likely to be straightforward to use that output data set in a DATA step, make a few calculations, then use the result as the input to a second PROC TABULATE that actually prints the report.

Good luck.
