SAS Freq

Contents

Usage

To display frequencies of variables, try:

proc freq data=LIBREF.TABLE order=freq;
  tables VARLIST;
run;

To list unique values, add the nlevel option to the procedure.

The TABLES statement creates a table for each variable specified in VARLIST.

To create a crosstab, try:

proc freq data=LIBREF.TABLE;
  tables VAR1*VAR2;
run;

To suppress certain aspects of the frequency table, specify the corresponding supresion option. For example, to suppress cumulative frequencies, try:

proc freq data=LIBREF.TABLE order=freq;
  tables VARLIST / nocum;
run;

The options are:

Option	Meaning
`nocum`	suppress cumulative percentages
`nopercent`	suppress cell percentages
`norow`	suppress row percentages
`nocol`	suppress column percentages
`crosslist`	trigger nested list display for crosstabs
`list`	as above and includes first level value on each row

The BY statement specifies one or more variables for which the PROC FREQ should be split.
