Are your dates supposed to be MONTH DAY YEAR or DAY MONTH YEAR? You use a ddmmyy informat but have values for "month" of 24. That is a data fix, not code, unless you specified the wrong informat. But we don't know what would be "right". So can't fix the code.

If that data is supposed to be Jan to April then you have MONTH DAY YEAR data and the informat should be mmddyy10.;

 

Now, describe the report results. Please don't make use guess. And is this supposed to be a report that people read and not a data set?

data test;
input cust_id  date :mmddyy10.  site;
format date mmddyy10.;
infile datalines delimiter=',';
datalines;
2,01/04/2023,1,
6,01/24/2023,1,
3,03/04/2023,2,
8,03/18/2023,1,
4,02/05/2023,1,
7,04/05/2023,1
;
run;

proc tabulate data=test;
   class date site;
   format date monyy7.;
   table site,
         date*n=' '
         /misstext='0'
   ;
run;
