Compact Descriptive Stats - Cross tabs

[DavidKaib]

I have a few series of variables, each with a particular set of value options, where I need to display one of the answer options for each one (percent with that option), as a cross tab against another variable. While this is relatively easy to do using proc freq or proc tabulate, rather than a series of tables that shows all the options,  I would like to display this, one table for each set of variable (those sharing value options). Something like this:

	% F
	Total	Admin	Library	Maintenance	Support
Sat	0.4	0.5	0.5	0.3	0.3
Engage	0.4	0.5	0.5	0.3	0.3
Clear	0.3	0.5	0.0	0.3	0.3
OnTime	0.4	1.0	0.5	0.3	0.0
Overall	0.3	0.0	0.0	0.7	0.3
	% AS
	Total	Admin	Library	Maintenance	Support
Better	0.4	0.5	0.5	0.3	0.3
Compare	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Space	0.2	0.5	0.0	0.0	0.3
Pitch	0.1	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.3
Staff	0.4	0.5	0.0	0.7	0.3

A had a similar question about displaying the results compactly without the cross tabs that was resolved here:

Data.

Starting data in the form of a data step.

Likely make a data set where your current variable name becomes a the value of a variable and the the value into a single variable (maybe proc transpose or a data step equivalent- without existing data hard to tell which will work)

Then tabulate.

If those 0.3 are supposed to be percentages, sort of implied by the "%F" or "%AS" (and just what the heck is an F or AS??????, is that supposed to be a row percentage, table percentage or column percentage.

Correct, it's the % with the value of F (as opposed to not F) by each Unit. Currently I would use an array to make the values F or X (not F). It would be the column percentage here:

proc freq;
tables Sat * Unit;
run;
