PROC TABULATE by Example, Second Edition

Introduction

Now that you have mastered two-dimensional tables, let’s add a third dimension. We saw the page dimension briefly in Three–Dimensional Tables. Now we will explore the three-dimensional table in more detail. You might be asking yourself: "Three dimensions? How do you print a table shaped like a cube?"

But, actually, a three-dimensional table is like one face of a cube. A one-dimensional table has columns. A two-dimensional table has both columns and rows. A three-dimensional table is a two-dimensional table that is repeated across multiple pages. Basically, you print a new page for each value of the page variable.
