Assigning Data to Roles

To run the Table Analysis task, you must select an input data source. To filter the input data source, click Filter Icon.
You must assign at least one column to the Row variables or Column variables roles.
Roles
Description
Roles
Row variables
specifies the row for one-way table analysis. If multiple variables are assigned to this role, the task performs multiple one-way table analyses.
Column variables
creates the columns for one-way table analysis. If only column variables are assigned, the task performs multiple one-way table analyses.
Strata variables
creates the separate tables for n-way frequency and crosstabulation tables.
Note: You must assign columns to both the Row variables or Column variables roles to use a strata variable.
Additional Roles
Frequency count
lists a numeric variable whose value represents the frequency of the observation. If you assign a variable to this role, the task assumes that each observation represents n observations, where n is the value of the frequency variable. If n is not an integer, SAS truncates it. If n is less than 1 or is missing, the observation is excluded from the analysis. The sum of the frequency variable represents the total number of observations.
