Answer / nishant
I depends on the situation where we use it.
I use proc tabulate when we need to produce matrix-style
reports which is preferred. with proc report we can produce
columnar-style report.

Answer / mallikarjuna reddy
by using proc tabulate, we can get only cross tabular
reports, where as proc report generates summary reports,
listing reports besides generating cross tabular reports.

Answer / chiranjeevi.p
Proc tabulate is reffered as the 'semi statistical
procedure',which is used to generate the tabular reports.
proc report:
proc report is a pre defined procedure using which we can
generate a reports.Using the proc report,two kinds of
reports can be generated.there are
1)Detailed report
2)Summary report
Summary report is the report,which can hold more than one
observation in it.it is referred as S.report.
Detailed report is the report which can hold only a single
observation in it explained in detail.
so we can prefer the proc report instead of proc tabulate.

U cant get inferential stats like p-value using PROC TABULATE
and more over the report finally what u get is aligned
in multiple pages which is not desired.
and the headings are not aligned correctly.

Answer / balanarasimhudu
By using TABULATE procedure, we can get quick descriptive statistics on data, but it does not meet the typical needs of generating clinical trial tables, some reasons.
 It does not provide p-values beyond a simple t-test.
 It does not present “n (%)” in a desired format.
 Variable labels are not clearly differentiated from the summary statistics labels.
 “Page X of N” pagination is not available.
 Missing values are handled in an “all or nothing” way, so if you exclude missing
values for one variable, you end up excluding all data for that record for the other
variables in the summary.
 It does not place population counts in the column heading.
The REPORT procedure was designed as a flexible report writing tool that combines features of the PRINT, MEANS, and TABULATE procedures along with “PUT” capabilities commonly used in the DATA step. so, I prefer to use proc report until I have cross tabulation tables, because, it gives me so many options to modify the look up of my table,(Ex: width option, by this we can change the width of each column in table like this so many options, statements we can use in proc report).

Proc Report and Proc Tabulate procedures are very useful
for generating reports. Proc Report is preferable in using

genrating Tables.
