PROC TABULATE statement options:
FORMAT=
TABLE statement:

concatenation (blank operator)
crossing (* operator)
format modifiers
grouping elements (parentheses operator)
labels
REPPCTSUM statistic
ROWPCTSUM statistic
variable list

TABLE statement options:

A Closer Look
Here are the percentage sum statistic calculations used to produce the output for the Blue Team in Classroom A:
COLPCTSUM=31/91*100=34%
ROWPCTSUM=31/67*100=46%
REPPCTSUM=31/204*100=15%
Similar calculations were used to produce the output for the remaining teams and classroom.
