Hello, 

 

I need some assistance with creating a frequency table of smoking status by cholesterol status suppress the Row Pct and Col Pct 

 

This is what I have to create a frequency table for smoking status however 

 

proc freq data=sashelp.heart;
tables Smoking_Status/Chol_Status;
quit;

 

I tried to use example 

proc freq data=SummerSchool order=data;
   tables Internship*Enrollment / chisq;
   weight Count;
run;  

 However I'm not getting smoking status by cholesterol status 

 

Status     Smoking_Status       Chol_Status

dead        Heavy (16-25)            desirable                   

alive        non-smoker                 desirable

dead        moderate (16-25)       high

alive         non-smoker                borderline

alive         light (1-5)                   borderline

Smoking_Status is not included in your PROC FREQ so it won't be included in the results. It depends on how you want it, but you could just add smoking_status to the table statement or put it as a BY statement to have it done for each status.

Your code:

proc freq data=sashelp.heart;
tables Smoking_Status/Chol_Status;
quit;

generates errors because the / is used to indicate options such as the types of tests or output are required.

 

The * between variable names is used to request a cross-tabulation

 

proc freq data=sashelp.heart;
tables Smoking_Status*Chol_Status;
quit;
