I have two datasets

dataset #1: by group

group_assigneddenominator
placebo10
treatment12

 

dataset #2: 

Demographicstreatmentplacebo
Age  
Gender  
Race  
Medications  

 

the treatment groups changes every data export so i want to set n=# for each group. For this export, something like this:

 

Demographicstreatment (n=12)placebo (n=10)
Age  
Gender  
Race  
Medications  

 

I tried %macro but i think it is not working

Please clearify the target format of the export and show the code you are using. I don't macro-code is required to solve the problem, i would use labels. The following step adds labels to the variables in dataset work.two.

 

data _null_;
	set groups end=last;
	
	if _n_ = 1 then do;
		call execute('proc datasets library=work nolist;');
		call execute('modify two;');
		call execute('label');
	end;
	
	call execute(cats(group_assigned, '=', quote(catx(' ', group_assigned, '(n=', denominator, ')'))));
	
	if last then do;
		call execute(';');
		call execute('quit;');
	end;
run;

See Example 8 here

The link in the document to the code shows exactly how to do it.
