Is there an option that you can write in proc freq where we can only view  the table only with values and not 0's

One way is to use a different procedure. You did not show any actual Proc Freq code to give variables or options but a basic cross table can be done such as

 

proc tabulate data=sashelp.class;
  class sex age;
  table sex, age *n=''
       /misstext=' ';
run;

The n=' ' just suppresses a default column heading of N for the count.

The table option of misstext=' ' says to display a blank for missing values. The 0 in proc freq comes from a missing combination.

Does this mean that dress 1, 3 and 5 should be omitted?

thank you, but I think I my have not explained my problem well enough 

I just added a proc freq, table /list

that gave me a concise table that looks like this, without the 0's
