Hello
I am using proc freq to create 2 way freq table.
The problem is that I want to control the following issues:
1-Order of rows will be by the total freq of each category of field Z2
2-Order of columns will be be order of numbers in field Z1: 2 3 4 5 6
When I use order=freq then order of rows is correct but order of columns (Z2 categories) is not as I want
data rawdata;
input ID Z1 Z2 $;
cards;
1 2 xjfjjj
2 3 djdjdj
3 3 xjfjjj
4 4 djdjdj
5 5 xjfjjj
6 5 djdjdj
7 6 djdjdj
8 6 asasas
9 6 asasas
10 6 djdjdj
;
run;
PROC FREQ DATA=rawdata order=freq ;
TABLE Z2* Z1/ MISSING NOPERCENT NOCOL norow ;
RUN;
data rawdata;
input ID Z1 Z2 $;
cards;
1 2 xjfjjj
2 3 djdjdj
3 3 xjfjjj
4 4 djdjdj
5 5 xjfjjj
6 5 djdjdj
7 6 djdjdj
8 6 asasas
9 6 asasas
10 6 djdjdj
;
run;
PROC tabulate DATA=rawdata ;
class z2/order=freq;
class z1/order=internal;
TABLE z2=' ' all,z1*n*f=8.0 all*n*f=8.0/printmiss box='z2' misstext='0';
keylabel n=' ';
RUN;
data rawdata;
input ID Z1 Z2 $;
cards;
1 2 xjfjjj
2 3 djdjdj
3 3 xjfjjj
4 4 djdjdj
5 5 xjfjjj
6 5 djdjdj
7 6 djdjdj
8 6 asasas
9 6 asasas
10 6 djdjdj
;
run;
PROC tabulate DATA=rawdata ;
class z2/order=freq;
class z1/order=internal;
TABLE z2=' ' all,z1*n*f=8.0 all*n*f=8.0/printmiss box='z2' misstext='0';
keylabel n=' ';
RUN;
It is perfect and thank you for the solution.
I want to ask please what is the way to do it via proc freq.
When I use "order=freq " then I control the order of the rows but why the order of the columns(Var Z1) is changed?
I think it is hard for PROC FREQ . Maybe somebody could shed a light .
