i have to create a summary like below for the counts of a and b

 

Row LabelsB NoB YesGrand Total

the Numbers present in the want table is the count of Y and N of the Have dataset , the number present in each cell is determined like below :

 

Here A no and B No is if A and b couloumn both are N

A no B yes means column A is N and column B is Y

A yes B No means column A is Y and column B is N 

A Yes B Yes means both column A  and Column B is Y

PROC FREQ does that by default. You can add formats to your data to get it show up as N/Y.

 

proc format;
value demo_fmt
Y='Yes'
N='No'
Other='CheckMe';
run;

proc freq data=have;
table a*b;
format a b demo_fmt.;
run;
