“Repo” Your Missing Data Using Proc Report

Abstract

PROC REPORT is a great procedure for producing reports suitable for clients. This paper covers the use of PROC REPORT to generate simple frequency counts and percents that include missing values (similar to PROC FREQ with the MISSING OPTION), and a second percent that excludes missing observation from the calculation (similar to PROC FREQ with the MISSPRINT OPTION). This paper will also include descriptions of how to (1) create totals using compute blocks; (2) format the report; (3) add titles, footnotes, subscripts, and superscripts; and (4) specify various output options.
