The two tables in this example
show
- which factors most influenced customers' decisions
to buy products
- where customers heard of the company.
The reports appear on one physical page with only one page
number. By default, they would appear on separate pages.
In addition to showing how to create these tables, this
example shows how to
- use a DATA step to count the number of observations
in a data set
- store that value in a macro variable
- access that value later in the SAS
session.
Completed Survey Form shows
the survey
form used to collect data.
