MAXCOUNT subcommand (RESPONSE RATE command)
The optional MAXCOUNT
subcommand
specifies the maximum cumulative total of the DENOMINATOR
variable to use to color-code the output
table and to use as a reference line on the cumulative count line
chart. For each category of the GROUP
total, the cumulative total is the sum of the DENOMINATOR
values for all preceding categories plus
the current category. For example, if DENOMINATOR
represents number of customers, then the cumulative total for any GROUP
category is the total number of customers
for all groups up to and including that group.
The following alternatives are available for specifying maximum count:
COUNT=ALL. No maximum. This is the default if the subcommand is omitted.
COUNT=value. Use the specified value as the maximum cumulative total. The value must be a positive integer.
PERCENT=value. Determine the maximum cumulative total based on the specified percentage of the overall total. The value must be greater than 0 and less than 100.
- If
MAXCOUNT
is specified withoutMINRATE
, all rows with a cumulative total for theDENOMINATOR
variable less than or equal to the specified maximum are displayed with a green background, and all subsequent rows are displayed with a red background. - If
MINRATE
is also specified, rows are only displayed with a green background if the maximum cumulative total is not exceeded and the cumulative response rate is higher than the specified minimum. For example, if the response rate is less than the specified minimum, the row will be displayed with a red background regardless of the cumulative total.
