PROC TABULATE creates customized one-, two-, and three-dimensional tables that display any of a large number of descriptive statistics.

modify virtually every feature of a table

calculate percentages

produce sub-reports without sorting data

summarize data and produce a report in one step

generate multiple tables in one step.

SAS Techies 2009 proc tabulate data=diabstat; class type; var premium; table type premium; run; proc tabulate data=clinic.admit; class sex; var height weight; table sex,height*min weight*min; run; proc tabulate data=clinic.admit; class sex actlevel; var height weight; table actlevel,sex,height*min weight*min; run; 11/13/09 Height Weight Min Min Sex 61.00 118.00 F M 69.00 147.00 ActLevel HIGH ActLevel LOW Height Weight Min Min Sex 66.00 140.00 F M 72.00 168.00 Height Weight Min Min Sex 61.00 118.00 F M 71.00 154.00

To set up a table with PROC TABULATE, you need to identify the data you are analyzing, and then determine

which variables, if any, you need to classify your data

which variables, if any, you need to analyze your data

the type of table you need to represent your data.

SAS Techies 2009 11/13/09 PROC TABULATE invokes the procedure and identifies your data set CLASS specifies variables used to classify data VAR analyze data - uses variables and statistics to form the table. TABLE defines the table to display your data --uses variables and statistics to form the table.

Class variables

can be character or numeric .

classify data into groups or categories.

have only a few distinct values , in most cases. (PROC TABULATE prints each value of a class variable.)

Analysis Variables Unlike class variables, analysis variables

must be numeric

are used for arithmetic analysis

often contain continuous values.

SAS Techies 2009 the same variable cannot appear in both the CLASS statement and the VAR statement in the same step. 11/13/09

SAS Techies 2009 11/13/09

You use the TABLE statement to specify

the number of dimensions in the table (page, row, column)

the variables in the table ( Sex , Height )

the statistics to be calculated (MAX)

SAS Techies 2009 TABLE page-expression, row-expression, column-expression ; Dimension expressions contain elements . Dimension expressions can also contain operators that you use when combining elements to produce the table you want. Commas , one type of operator, separate the dimensions of the table. 11/13/09

proc tabulate data=clinic.diabstat;

class type sex;

var totalclaim premium;

table type;

table type premium;

table type,premium;

table type,premium,sum;

run;

Two-dimensional tables always have row and column headings; one-dimensional tables only have column headings.

SAS Techies 2009 11/13/09 Type I II N N 3.00 17.00 Type Premium I II N N Sum 3.00 17.00 3359.15 Premium Sum Type 312.65 I II 3046.50 Type I Sum Premium 312.65 Type II Sum Premium 3046.50

Your final task before writing your own PROC TABULATE step is to specify the statistics needed. To request a statistic, you use an operator, the asterisk ( * ), to attach the statistic to the variable.

If you specify only class variables in your TABLE statement,

the default statistic is N (frequency)

the only statistics you can request are N and PCTN (percent of total frequency).

If you specify any analysis variables in your TABLE statement,

the default statistic is SUM

you can request any statistic to be computed on the analysis variables.

In a TABLE statement, you can specify statistics in any dimension, but they must all be in the same dimension .

SAS Techies 2009 proc tabulate data=clinic.admit; class sex actlevel; var height weight; table height* mean weight* max ,actlevel; table sex* pctn actlevel* n ; run; 11/13/09

To specify a summary row, you specify ALL in the row expression of your TABLE statement.

SAS Techies 2009 proc tabulate; data=clinic.admit; var fee; class sex; table sex all ,fee; run; proc tabulate data=clinic.admit; class sex; table sex all ; run; 11/13/09 Fee Sum Sex 1418.35 F M 1268.60 All 2686.95 Sex All F M N N N 11 10 21

proc tabulate data=clinic.admit;

class sex;

var height weight;

table (height weight)*mean,sex all;

label sex='Sex of Patient' height='Height' weight='Weight';

keylabel min='Lowest Reading' max='Highest Reading' mean='Average Reading';

Run;

SAS Techies 2009 11/13/09 Lowest Reading Highest Reading Average Reading Sex 152.00 568.00 253.45 F Fasting Glucose Level M Fasting Glucose Level 156.00 492.00 354.89

SAS Techies 2009 To group elements and control how expressions are evaluated, you can use the parentheses operator. You can also produce hierarchical tables by using the asterisk operator to cross class variables with other variables. concatenation, using the blank Operator to display variables side by side or stacked 11/13/09 table height*mean weight*mean,sex all; table sex,actlevel*age*max; table type*(sex all);

SAS Techies 2009 You can condense multiple pages into a single page. Condensed output You can specify how percentages are calculated. You can create formats to change headings for class variable values. 11/13/09 table type,fee,sum / condense ; table type,fee*sex*pctsum<type>; proc format; value $actfmt 'LOW'='(1) Low' 'MOD'='(2) Moderate' 'HIGH'='(3) High';

SAS Techies 2009 11/13/09 Error How to rectify VARIABLE appears in both CLASS and VAR lists. You specified a variable as both class and analysis. Type of name (VARIABLE) unknown at line n. You forgot to specify a variable as either class or analysis. Variable VARIABLE in list does not match type prescribed for this list. You specified a character variable as analysis.

proc means data=clinic.diabetes

N mean std min max;

run;

Descriptive statistics such as mean, sum, minimum, and maximum can answer basic questions about numeric data.

If variables are not specified, statistics on all the variables are calculated..

var age height weight;

CLASS Group Processing You will often want statistics for grouped observations, instead of for observations as a whole.

proc sort data=clinic.heart out=work.hartsort; by survive sex; run;

proc means data=work.hartsort maxdec=1; var arterial heart cardiac urinary; by survive sex; run;

Like the CLASS statement, the BY statement specifies variables to use for categorizing observations.

Unlike CLASS processing, BY processing requires that your data already be sorted in the order of the BY variables.

BY group results have a layout that is different from that of CLASS group results.

By default, PROC FREQ creates a one-way table with the frequency , percent , cumulative frequency , and cumulative percent of every value of all variables in a data set.

Frequency distributions work best with variables that contain repeating values.

proc freq data=finance.loans; tables rate months; run;

Note: One table per variable in one-way freq tables

SAS Techies 2009 11/13/09 Variable Frequency Percent Cumulative Frequency Cumulative Percent Value Number of observations with the value. Frequency of the value divided by the total number of observations. Sum of the frequency counts of the value and all other values listed above it in the table.
