I'm trying to use the rank function in SAS but I'm not sure I'm using it correctly or there may be another function that works better.

The data I have is made up of storm names and states associated with each storm. I have run a formula showing me by storm which states have the largest percentage of records i.e.

Storm 1:

KS = 60%

MO = 15%

IL = 10%

OH = 6%

AR = 5%

TX = 2%

KY = 2%

Is there a way to rank (by storm) the states that have the largest % of records?

How have you tried so far?

You may only need to 1) sort by storm and 2) include a BY storm statement in Proc Rank;
