PROC TABULATE by Example
Author: Lauren E. Haworth
Publisher: SAS Publishing
Examples of TABULATE output make up nearly half of this book, which uses the examples to show what the TABULATE proc is capable of and how to program with it. The book starts with the basics, for SAS users with little or no experience with PROC TABULATE, then quickly moves on to the intricacies of the proc and such advanced topics as percents, formatting missing values, using macros, and generating web pages and spreadsheets.
