Create new data set

Haydo — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 04:25:14 GMT

I have dataset (2 Million rows) with the following varibales:

Suburb
Suburb_Latitude
Suburb_longitude
Group (Group1, Group2)
SubGroup(Subrgroup1, Subrgroup2,Subrgroup3,Subrgroup4,Subrgroup5,Subrgroup6)
Offered (Y,N)
Count (numerical)

For the values I have used mock entries.

The Request.

I'd like 1 line per Suburb summing the Count Variable as per the table below.

Please do not post pictures of data; supply example data in a self-contained DATA step with DATALINES.

For summations like you describe, PROC MEANS/SUMMARY is the right tool.

Apologies not sure how to add, DATA step with DATALINES. I've added a table with the desired outcome and I hope this helps.

Mock up of data


Suburb	Group1	Group2	Subrgroup1	Subrgroup2	Subrgroup3	Subrgroup4	Subrgroup5	Subrgroup6	Offered Y	Offered N
Suburb1	2159	1483	209	642	607	562	446	1177	1820	1823
Suburb1	1163	799	112	345	327	303	240	634	980	981

Writing a DATA step is easier than getting all of those lines to appear on the page.

data want;
  input Suburb :$10. Group1 Group2 Subrgroup1-Subrgroup6 OfferedY OfferedN;
cards;
Suburb1 3322 2282 321 987 934 865 686 1811 2800 2804
Suburb2 4468 2084 1045 1270 1047 1300 466 466 3270 3282
Suburb3 4487 889 1046 250 753 931 1896 1896 2680 2696
;

If your actual data has variables with those names then a simple proc summary will work:

proc summary data=have nway;
  class suburb;
  var Group1 Group2 Subrgroup1-Subrgroup6 OfferedY OfferedN;
  output out=want sum= ;
run;

But your written description of the source made it sound more complicated. Please share a similar data step to create a small example of the source data.
