Richard,

After reading your original post more carefully, I realized that you also wanted to know how to get row percentages when you have subtotals in the columns.

The code is as follows:

Proc tabulate; class a b c; table a,b*(c all)*pctn<b*c b*all>; run;

And the output looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------ | | b | | |-----------------------------------------| | | 1 | 2 | | |--------------------+--------------------| | | c | | c | | | |-------------| |-------------| | | | 1 | 2 | All | 1 | 2 | All | | |------+------+------+------+------+------| | | PctN | PctN | PctN | PctN | PctN | PctN | |----------------------+------+------+------+------+------+------| |a | | | | | | | |----------------------| | | | | | | |1 | 25| 25| 50| 25| 25| 50| |----------------------+------+------+------+------+------+------| |2 | 25| 25| 50| 25| 25| 50| ------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, I used the column definition as the denominator in order to get a row percentage. The only trick here is that you can't have parentheses in a denominator definition, so instead of b*(c all) I had to use <b*c b*all>.
