order in Proc Tabulate

[podarum]

Hi, I have inputed text data (see CODE1 below, and I want the CI1 to remain in the same order when I run it though proc tabulate.  But instead it sorts it as such (see OUTPUT1).  I'm using the TABULATE code (see CODE2).  thanks

CODE1:

if Vendor_1 < -0.20 then CI1 = '<=-20.1%';

else if Vendor_1 < -0.15 and Vendor_1 => -0.20 then CI1 = '-15.1% => and => -20%';

else if Vendor_1 < -0.12 and Vendor_1 => -0.15 then CI1 = '-12.1% => and => -15%';

else if Vendor_1 < -0.10 and Vendor_1 => -0.12 then CI1 = '-10.1% => and => -12%';

else if Vendor_1 < -0.08 and Vendor_1 => -0.10 then CI1 = '-8.1% => and => -10%';

else if Vendor_1 < -0.05 and Vendor_1 => -0.08 then CI1 = '-5.1% => and => -8%';

else if Vendor_1 <= 0 and Vendor_1 => -0.05 then CI1 = '0.0% => and => -5%';

else if Vendor_1 > 0 and Vendor_1 <= 0.05 then CI1 = '0.1% <= and <= 5%';

else if Vendor_1 > 0.05 and Vendor_1 <= 0.08 then CI1 = '5.1% <= and <= 8%';

else if Vendor_1 > 0.08 and Vendor_1 <= 0.10 then CI1 = '8.1% <= and <= 10%';

else if Vendor_1 > 0.10 and Vendor_1 <= 0.12 then CI1 = '10.1 <= and <= 12%';

else if Vendor_1 > 0.12 and Vendor_1 <= 0.15 then CI1 = '12.1% <= and <= 15%';

else if Vendor_1 > 0.15 then CI1 = '>15%'; else CI1 = 'ZZZ';

end;

end;

OUTPUT1:

-10.1% => and => -12%

-12.1% => and => -15%

-15.1% => and => -20%

-5.1% => and => -8%

-8.1% => and => -10%

0.0% => and => -5%

0.1% <= and <= 5%

10.1 <= and <= 12%

12.1% <= and <= 15%

5.1% <= and <= 8%

8.1% <= and <= 10%

<=-20.1%

>15%

CODE2:

PROC TABULATE data=Test;

CLASS USE_CI CI1 Vendor_1;

var count;

TABLE Vendor_1*CI1,pctn<CI1 all>  /rts=35;

RUN;

changing code to:

proc tabulate data=test order=data;

[podarum]

Doing that, I got :

>15%

-10.1% => and => -12%

<=-20.1%

-15.1% => and => -20%

-8.1% => and => -10%

0.1% <= and <= 5%

0.0% => and => -5%

-12.1% => and => -15%

5.1% <= and <= 8%

-5.1% => and => -8%

12.1% <= and <= 15%

8.1% <= and <= 10%

10.1 <= and <= 12%

For use with ORDER=DATA sometimes it helps to sort the data so the order is as expected.

[Linlin]

please sort your data by Vendor_1 , then run proc tabulate. something like this:

proc sort data=your_dataset out=temp;

by vender_1;

run;

proc tabulate data=temp order=data;

Thank you.. worked fine.
