Introduction

No one tool can do every job, and PROC TABULATE is no exception. There are some things that the procedure just cannot do.
This chapter shows examples of tasks that PROC TABULATE was not designed to do.
For some of these tasks, there are ways that you can trick PROC TABULATE into producing the desired output. This chapter includes examples and code to show how you can produce the desired result.
For other tasks, another SAS tool might be recommended. For example, PROC PRINT and PROC REPORT are also good tools to use for some types of tables.
Then there are tasks where the work that you are doing is so complex that you might have to use a variety of SAS and other tools to bring together the desired elements into your table.
