Hello
I am using sashelp.class raw data in order to create a summary report.
I want to add categories in age varaible that are not in the raw data (will get values 0)
I also want o to add category of Sex variable that is not in the raw table (will get values 0)
I want to use classdata option in proc tabulate in order to show categories with value 0.
The problem is that it is not working.
Any idea why?
Data level1;
input sex $1.;
cards;
F
M
T
;
Run;
proc format;
value $sex
"F"="Female"
"M"="Male"
"T"="Trans"
;
Run;
Data level2;
input age;
cards;
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
;
Run;
proc tabulate data=ashelp.class classdata=level1 classdata=level2;
class sex age;
var height;
table sex='' all='ALL',
(age*N*f=8. all='ALL' age *height=''*mean*f=8.1 all='ALL');
Run;
Just to understand. Is Classdata option working only in a case that there is one variable???
CLASSDATA option needs to be specified once and should be a dataset that has the set of combinations you want to force to appear. So something like:
proc sql ;
create table classdata as
select *
from level1,level2
;
quit;
May you please show the full solution with classdata option ? (I understand that you created a table that has all required combinations of var sex and var age but it is still not working )
Hi:
You should have received a WARNING with the 2 CLASSDATA options and then another error in your code, as shown below:
However, you can generate the data for the CLASSDATA file a different way, as shown in the program below, which produces this result:
Result showing TAB code fixed using new CLASSDATA:
Code to make classdata:
Data myclass;
length sex $1 age 8;
do sex = 'F', 'M', 'T';
do age = 10 to 18 by 1;
output;
end;
end;
Run;
proc format;
value $sex
"F"="Female"
"M"="Male"
"T"="Trans"
;
Run;
Hope this helps,
Cynthia
