suppose I have a dataset so that I use

 

proc tabulate  data = a ;

   class a b ;

   table a, b ;

run ;

 

and I get

         b

a      0      1

0      2     4

1      3     1

 

what I want is margins on *both* sides and then percentages of the total on both margins: that is:

 

        b

a       0       1        all

0      20     40       60

1      30     10       40

 all   50     50     100

 

I have a grim suspicion that this is not possible, but I would like to be proven wrong.

Without testing, code should be like:

 

proc tabulate  data = a ;

   class a ;
   var b; 

   table (a all),
         (b all) * (pctn colpctn);

run ;

Hello,

 

You can try this:

proc freq data=a;
	tables a*b / nocol nocum norow nofreq;
run;

I hope this helps,

Provide an actual data set and what the expected results would be.

If you do not provide any additional request in the Table statement of Proc Tabulate then the result for Class variables is a count.

You can request PCTN percentage of table count, RowPctN percentage of row count and ColPctN percentage of column counts.

specific statistic requests may work. I think this is what you are looking for:

data work.a;
   input a b;
datalines;
0 0
0 0
0 1
0 1
0 1
0 1
1 0
1 0
1 0
1 1
;
run;



proc tabulate data=work.a;
   class a b;
   table a all,
         b*(pctn) all*colpctn
   ;
run;
