Hi all,

i need help with this.

i created a variable Adjgpa with is code


proc means data=merged mean;
var GPA;
run;

data Adjgpa;
set Merged;
adjgpa=(GPA-3.18);
run;
proc print data=Adjgpa (obs=10);
run;
proc contents data=adjgpa;
run;

then i tried to run this code

You seem to point to the wrong table for the proc univariate.

Shouldn't you use Adjgpa?

Like this?

proc univariate data =adjgpa noprint;
var adjgpa;
histogram ;
run;

I used this


proc univariate data =adjgpa noprint;
 var adjgpa;
histogram ;
run;

and it worked.

Thank you

Hi @pinkyloop, nicely asked question, showing code and error message (not everyone does), followed by a quick response from @ChrisNZ.

To round it off, it would also be good to mark the response from @ChrisNZ as the solution, which highlights the question as solved for the benefit of others and gives @ChrisNZ further recognition.

Thanks & regards,

Amir.
