ODS Table Output for PROC Means

JonDickens1607 — Sun, 15 May 2016 17:17:19 GMT

I wish to use ODS Table Name Output within Proc Means to construct an output data set that contains

( For Example ) the following columns:

Variable_Name, Var_Min, Var_Median, Var_Max, Var_Mean

Var_01 Var_01_Min Var_01_Median Var_01_Max Var_01_Mean

Var_02 Var_02_Min Var_02_Median Var_02_Max Var_02_Mean

Var_60 Var_60_Min Var_60_Median Var_60_Max Var_60_Mean

Ultimately I wish to merge several such SAS Data Sets generated by Proc Means to construct the following Data Set:

Variable_Name Y_Variable, Var_X1_Median, Var_X2_Median, Var_X3_Median

where the Y-Variable may be dependent on one or more of the X variables

I constructed the base data set as follows:

PROC FREQ
DATA = WORK.DATA2SS NLEVELS ;
TABLES SQ01 - SQ59 / NOCOL ;
ODS OUTPUT NLEVELS = WORK.QUESTLEVELS_1 ;

RUN;

So my Data set should contain:

SQ01 Y01=NLEVELS01 X101 X201 X301

SQ02 Y02=NLEVELS02 X102 X202 X302

SQ59 Y59=NLEVELS59 X159 X259 X359

RTM.

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/proc/65145/HTML/default/viewer.htm#p17h6q7ygvkl1sn13qzf947dundi.htm

Use STACKODS option and ODS OUTPUT.

proc means data=sashelp.class stackods;
ods output summary=want;
run;

proc print data=want;
run;

OK, thanks for that, I will give it a try and see if it solves my problem

In addition to PROC MEANS, you might want to look at the OUTTABLE= option in PROC UNIVARIATE. See the article

"Save descriptive statistics for multiple variables in a SAS data set"

Thanks Rick.

The DO LOOP is my first port of call.

You are right, no matter how long one has been using SAS, when solving a
new problem there is always the opportunity to learn something new and
where possible to share this knowledge with others.

What a positive philosophy! Thanks for the inspiring thought.

Initially, it was interesting mathematically because of the matrix based
analysis in IML but difficult to apply as I did not have access to IML at
work.

However, now that I have started using SAS University Edition at home, I
can experiment with IML and will probably revisit many of the DO LOOP
Articles in order to work through.

I have made good use of those articles on Scatterplots and Predictive /
Confidence Ellipses in EDA.

Thanks for reading. There are many articles on The DO Loop that do not involve matrix computations. In addition to serving SAS/IML programmers, I try to create content that appeals to Base SAS programmers, SAS/STAT analysts, and analysts who create statistical graphics.

Yes, I have found your DO LOOP articles generally very useful.

BTW I have purchased both your books. ( IML and Simulation )

Very few of my Financial Service Clients have ever licensed IML.

Perhaps SAS should include IML within the SAS "Analytics" Product Bundle
which most banks seem happy to license.

Especially given the migration to R which is vector / matrix based.

Cheers
