row counts & percents by month

[urban58]

Hello SAS community,

when I run 

proc freq data=have;

tables month * Q1 * Q2 / list nocum;

run;

I get the following (showing partial output)

month	Q1	Q2	Frequency	Percent
Feb-20	1	1	92	17.29
Mar-20	1	1	41	7.71
Sep-20	1	0	9	1.69
Sep-20	1	1	34	6.39
Oct-20	1	0	15	2.82
Oct-20	1	1	39	7.33
Nov-20	1	0	25	4.7
Nov-20	1	1	20	3.76

I would like to get the count and % (no decimal places) of subjects who answered one or both questions each month, e.g. in Nov, out of a total of 45 subjects, 44% answered both and 56% answered Q1 only.

Should I use proc report and if so how?

I'm running SAS 9.4 on Windows.

Any help would be appreciated!

Sounds like you might want ROWPCTN in Proc TABULATE.

Example:

data have;
  call streaminit(2020);
  do date = '01jan2020'd to '31dec2020'd;
    do rep = 1 to rand('integer',2,5);
      Q1 = rand('uniform') < 0.6;
      Q2 = rand('uniform') < 0.4;
      output;
    end;
  end;
run;

proc tabulate data=have;
  class date q1 q2;
  format date monyy6.;
  
  table 
    date
  , 
    q1='Q1 * Q2'*q2=''*n=''
    q1='Q1 * Q2'*q2='' * rowpctn * f=3.
  ;
run;

Here is an example .

proc sql;
create table want as
select sex,age,
count(*)/(select count(*) from sashelp.class where sex=a.sex) as per format=percent8.2
 from sashelp.class as a
  group by sex,age;
quit;
