Not sure of my solution

[catkat96]

Hi everyone, I'm currently doing a basic training in SAS but unfortunately wasn't provided with the solutions, and there is one problem that I am unsure if I solved properly. 

I uploaded a sample of the data I'm working with.

I learnt sorting, tables, merging, transposing, summarizing, proc freq, formats and macros, so you know around what level I am. 

The task was to "produce a breakdown of defaulted customers vs non-defualted customers who took a loan in 2018 by demographic.
All available demographics should be used produce a file that gives a % in defualt for each subcategory in each wider category."

This was what I came up with:

data data_2018;
	set data.master(where=('01JAN2019'd>Disbursal_date>='01JAN2018'd));
run;

%MACRO dofreq2 (var);
	PROC freq DATA=data_2018;
		table &var.*latest_status / out=freq2_&var.;
	RUN;
%MEND;

%dofreq2(age_band);
%dofreq2(residential_status);

In your opinion, is this the right way to solve this (given the tools i've learned)?

I wasn't sure how to make a table with JUST the "default" percentages. Also, I wasn't sure if they meant the percentages of Default per age band (for example) out of the different percentages all status for all age bands have (which is what I did) or to take an age band as 100% and then get the percentage of defaults over that band only. How do you see it? 

EDIT: here is the sample of data

 Mainly your code may work without any syntax error, assuming  the xlsx 
 worksheet was imported correctly to a sas dataset.

[catkat96]

Yes! It does work without errors, what I'm trying to see if the logic is correct or not 🙂

[PaigeMiller]

Using PROC FREQ seems like a reasonable approach.

Most of us will not download or open Microsoft Office documents as they are a security threat. So I didn't look at your data, and can't specifically answer your question. To provide us the data in a more usable form, please follow these instructions: https://blogs.sas.com/content/sastraining/2016/03/11/jedi-sas-tricks-data-to-data-step-macro/

[catkat96]

Okay! Tbh I couldn't work that out but I copied the sample and pasted it as a table... I hope it's good enough.
I used proc freq because this task was in that topic's program. 🙂
