Adding Distinct Totals to Proc Tabulate

Posted 05-29-2025 06:21 PM (942 views)

I have 2 things I need help with.

  1. My proc tabulate is generating 2 of the same table and I’m not sure why. Can anyone tell me why it’s doing this?
  2. I need help with creating a table just like the one this proc tabulate generates except, for the total columns and rows I want total distinct count for groups A,B,and C instead of the sum.  I want to keep the sum as the totals for the $ group. Maybe it would be better to use proc sql for this?

Yes, this is what I needed. Thank you! Is there a way to make the value cells gray if the Month or Group_ID=Total?
