2. Find heart in the sashelp library
Double click

6. 3x3 with just the Chi-Square
I want to have a 3x3 table with a chi-square text. The default output has too many statistics:

7. I want this.

9. You set the default output to include HTML pages.

10. Erase the title and footnote.

12. Control
Say you want only the contingency table and the chi-square statistic…
Play with the code.

13. Not needed
Fix the file name.
Remove the extra stuff

14. crosstabfreqs
chisq
Notice the output is generating two tables. I want to know the names so I can cut down the second table to only include the first Chi-Square.

15. Request the names of the output tables in the listing output.
Turn it off.
ods listing ;
ods trace on / listing;
PROC FREQ DATA = sashelp.heart;
TABLES Weight_Status * BP_Status / NOCOL NOPERCENT CHISQ;
RUN;
ods trace off;

16. Request the names of the output tables in the log
Turn it off.

17. ODS voodoo
For procedures that generate a lot of output-tables you can tell it which to select or exclude.
You can tell SAS to save the output of a table into a dataset (usually in the work library).

18. Same info in work and the report

19. Print Chi-square
Notice the filter

20. Remember the ;

21. This works but has an extra table

23. Don’t display the statistics
You can turn off all the output and still have it write the table of statistics into the work library.
The ODS destination name (it may be different for you)!

24. Solution Print the table without doing the statistics.
Calculate the chi-square

27. Cleaning Up
Macros (and other SAS programs) often use temporary datasets. It is good form to delete them. This code silently deletes the theChi table from the work library:

28. The Macro

30. Pretty Web Pages
Text to appear as a title and in the Table of Contents
I frequently use the program name as the title.

31. This sets the titles that will appear on the tabs of your web pages.
Add the labels for the table of contents after the label=
Copy and paste this block of code before each procedure that makes output.

32. Notice this
