23311 - Format cell contents for requested statistics and change statistics headings in the legend for PROC FREQ crosstab table

Sample 23311: Format cell contents for requested statistics and change statistics headings in the legend for PROC FREQ crosstab table

The following example changes the names of the default statistics to more meaningful names in the legend for all ODS destinations. The program also formats the percentage statistics (Percent, RowPercent, and ColPercent) with a percent (%) sign.

Note: The default CrossTabFreqs table definition that is shipped with SAS is stored in the SASHELP.TMPLMST itemstore. You can return to that default definition by submitting a DELETE statement in PROC TEMPLATE.

/* Delete CrossTabFreqs to restore the original template */ 
proc template;
   delete base.freq.crosstabfreqs;
run;

/* Create a picture format to display the % sign */
proc format;
   picture pctfmt (round) other='009.9%';
run;

/* Modify the CrossTabFreqs table */
proc template;
   define crosstabs Base.Freq.CrossTabFreqs;
      cellvalue frequency percent rowpercent colpercent;

      define frequency;
         format=8.;
         header='Count';
      end;
  
      define percent;
         format=pctfmt.;
         header='Overall %';
      end;

      define rowpercent;
         format=pctfmt.;
         header='Row %';
      end;

      define colpercent;
        format=pctfmt.;
        header='Col %';
      end;

   end;
run;

proc freq data=sashelp.class;
   tables sex*age;
run;
