Hi all, I have 5 dummy variables coded 1- Yes 0-No

Is there a way proc to tabulate dummy variables just to display the" Yes" categories   and also the total (sum of  both yes and No) for for each variable.

Thank You.

No. But if it's coded as 0/1 perhaps you can use proc means to get the summary you want? 

 

N = count of obs

Sum = num yes

Mean = percent of yes

proc format;
value $fmt(multilabel)
 'F'='F'
 'F','M'='ALL';
run;

proc tabulate data=sashelp.class;
class sex/mlf ;
format sex $fmt.;
table sex*n='';
run;

data class;
   set sashelp.class;
   sexdummy = sex eq 'F';
   sexdumm2 = sexdummy;
   run;
proc tabulate;
   var sexdummy sexdumm2;
   tables (sexdummy sexdumm2)*(sum='Count'*f=f8. n='Denom'*f=f8. mean='Percent'*f=percentn.);
   label sexdummy='Gender';
   run;

Provide some example data and what you want the result to look like.

When you say " and also the total (sum of  both yes and No) for for each variable" for a variable coded 1/0 then all of the 0's always sum to 0 so there is likely some additional details that you are leaving out. I suspect you have some nesting levels that you are not specifying clearly.
