Please how do I modify this macro code to display MEDIAN? Thanks
Are you claiming that this code works as intended, except that it fails to print the median? That would be a surprise.
Perhaps you could post the original macro, before you started playing with it. There are many issues to fix here.
The first part runs,
afterwards the remaining part never works. It gives several error that I can not fathom.
If the first part runs, then post the contents of C:\Users\Daddy\Desktop\face.sas
It may not print the median, but as long as it is working it can be tweaked to add the median to the report.
Si it fails to give an output that included MEDIAN
Hint: Set options mprint symbolgen mlogic;
Run your code;
Paste the generated statements and error messages from the log into a code box.
Mistakes from a quick scan
Oddly, the median part is actually correct....

Hi:
In ;your TABLE statement, you have specified many statistics correctly -- for example, N, MEAN, STD, MIN, and MAX. However, you have this
med*f=7.&dec
in your TABLE statement and the correct specification for the MEDIAN statistic is either MEDIAN or P50, as shown in the documentation.

Look what happens when I try the "MED" statistic as a keyword in TABULATE:
