SAS Query

Mjooda — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 15:03:45 GMT

Good morning!!

I kindly need help in writing this query for a practice pull.

If I can get help from anyone ?

total death counts over the 5 year period 2015-2019 at the zipcode level

by age groups: under 5, 5-14, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75-84, and 85 and above.

proc sql;
create table Brooking as
select count (CRESIDZIP_EXT)
from CLEANED.death2020
where age<=5 and age>=85;
quit;

I have tried several queries but still not getting the info needed.

Thanks

how about these two codes.

proc sql;
create table Brooking as
  select count (CRESIDZIP_EXT),
    case 
      when(    age< 5) then 0
      when( 5<=age<14) then 1
      when(15<=age<24) then 2
      when(25<=age<34) then 3
      when(35<=age<44) then 4
      when(45<=age<54) then 5
      when(55<=age<64) then 6
      when(65<=age<74) then 7
      when(75<=age<84) then 8
      when(85<=age)    then 9
      else .
    end as age_group
  from CLEANED.death2020
  group by age_group;
quit;

proc sql;
create table Brooking as
  select count (CRESIDZIP_EXT),
         round(age/10,1) as age_group
  from CLEANED.death2020
  group by age_group;
quit;

Okay thanks would try that.

You might want to consider using PROC FORMAT and PROC FREQ to do this

/* Create some sample data */
data bulk ;
	set sashelp.class ;
	do i=1 to 5 ;
		output ;
	end ;
run ;

/* Creatge a custom format */
/* https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/proc/p1xidhqypi0fnwn1if8opjpqpbmn.htm */
proc format ;
	value age 
		11-12   = "11-12" 
		13-14   = "13-14"
		15-high = "Over 14"
		;
run ;

proc sql ;
	/* counts unformatted */
	create table counts as
	select 
		age, count(*)
	from
		bulk 
	group by age ;

	;
	/* counts formatted */
	create table countsF as
	select 
		putn(age,"age.") as ageF , count(*)
	from
		bulk 
	group by ageF ;

	;

run ;

/* If you just want counts, then PROC FREQ might be a better option */
/* https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/procstat/procstat_freq_toc.htm */
proc freq data=bulk noprint ;
	format age age. ;
	table age / out=freqOut ;
run ;

Hello @Mjooda
One approach is to use proc format and proc means.
I have explained by means of an example,

Proc format;
value agegroup
       0  -< 5   = "Infant"
        5-<15   = "1"
       15-<25   = "2"
       25 -<35   = "3"
       35-<45   = "4"
       45-<55   = "5"
       55-<65   = "6"
       65-<75   = "7"
       75-<85   = "8"
       85- HIGH  = "Senior";
data class2;
Format age agegroup.;
set sashelp.class;
run;
       
proc means data=class2 sum  nonobs ;
Class Age ;
output out=sumout(Rename=(_FREQ_=NUM_STUDENTS AGE=AGE_GRP) WHERE=(_TYPE_=1) ) sum(weight) =GP_WT;;
run;
data sumout (drop=_TYPE_);
set sumout ;
run;

The final output will be as follows

Hi,

Welcome to the SAS forums!

It is good that you are thanking others for their proposed solutions.

If you are happy with what you have received, then a further show of gratitude is to mark one of the responses as a solution (not this post) as this increases their solution count.

Also, this way other contributors can see that nothing further is needed.

Thanks & kind regards,

Amir.
