Keep on getting the same warning

SyazmiSaadon — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 07:28:26 GMT

I am new with SAS. When I tried to use ANOVA for my data, I keep on getting the same warning causing the result to be incomplete.

In the log window, it says "WARNING: LSMEAN differences for Days are not estimable; no table of differences will be produced."

How am I supposed to solve this problem?

When you encounter problems, always post the log. Use the {i} button for posting log (or other fixed-space) text.

Please post example data in a data step with datalines, like this (creates a copy of the often used sashelp.class dataset):

data class;
input name :$8. sex :$1. age height weight;
datalines;
Alfred      M      14     69.0      112.5
Alice       F      13     56.5       84.0
Barbara     F      13     65.3       98.0
Carol       F      14     62.8      102.5
Henry       M      14     63.5      102.5
James       M      12     57.3       83.0
Jane        F      12     59.8       84.5
Janet       F      15     62.5      112.5
Jeffrey     M      13     62.5       84.0
John        M      12     59.0       99.5
Joyce       F      11     51.3       50.5
Judy        F      14     64.3       90.0
Louise      F      12     56.3       77.0
Mary        F      15     66.5      112.0
Philip      M      16     72.0      150.0
Robert      M      12     64.8      128.0
Ronald      M      15     67.0      133.0
Thomas      M      11     57.5       85.0
William     M      15     66.5      112.0
;

Posting data in this way does not leave any ambiguities. If needed, add a format statement.

This code was posted using the "little running man" button.

Unless your question deals explicitly with Excel files, do not use them to post data. Excel spreadsheets do not convey important information, like SAS variable types and lengths, SAS formats etc.

A google search (see Maxim 6) for sas WARNING: LSMEAN differences for Days are not estimable; no table of differences will be produced. lead me to these results:
