RE: Counting using 2 datasets

twildone — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 01:31:14 GMT

Hi...I have a data set A that has a unique product id numbers and the corresponding benchmark weight for that product id number. A second data set B contains the raw data of which I want to count for each client and product id number, the number of records (sales) below the benchmark weight, the number of records (sales) having the benchmark weight (equal to) and also the number of records (sales) above the benchmark weight. The problem I am having is how to bring those benchmark weights in so I can compare the actual weights in data set B to the corresponding product weights. Any suggestions. Thanks,

It would help seeing example datasets for each of your datasets (in datastep form), the result you'd like to get from the process, and the code you've tried thus far.

Hi....this is what I have so far. Although the output in table Summary5 is what I would like to end up with, is there a more simplier and efficient way to end up with the same results as the actual dataset for trialb is quite large.

DATA trialA;

INFORMAT Product_ID $CHAR6. Weight BEST12.;

INPUT Product_ID : $CHAR6. Weight : BEST32.;

You can combine the four SQL statements into one and then do your transpose:

PROC SQL;

CREATE TABLE Summary AS

SELECT B.Client, B.Product_ID, A.Weight as BenchMarkWt,

case when a.Weight-b.Weight>0 then 'Greater than'

when a.Weight-b.Weight<0 then 'Less than'

when a.Weight-b.Weight=0 then 'Same'

else '' end as Condition, count(*) as COUNT_of_Condition

FROM WORK.trialB b LEFT JOIN WORK.trialA a

ON (B.Product_ID = A.Product_ID)

group by B.Client, B.Product_ID, A.Weight, calculated Condition;

QUIT;

PROC TRANSPOSE DATA=Summary OUT=WORK.SummaryTrans(DROP=_NAME_);

BY Client Product_ID;

ID Condition;

VAR COUNT_of_Condition;

RUN;

Not sure if that's what you needed, though.

I'd do all of the heavy lifting in your first sql step, then use proc freq, then transpose. e.g. (which produces your summary5 table). However, while I won't delete my post, I like @nehalsanghvi's solution better (i.e., simply including the count variable in your one proc sql step):

PROC SQL NOPRINT;
     CREATE TABLE Summary AS
           SELECT
                trialB.Client,
         trialB.Product_ID,
         case 
           when (trialB.Weight-trialA.Weight) > 0 then 'Less_than'
           when (trialB.Weight-trialA.Weight) < 0 then 'Greater_than'
           when (trialB.Weight-trialA.Weight) = 0 then 'Same'
           else ''
         end as condition
          FROM WORK.trialB LEFT JOIN WORK.trialA ON (trialB.Product_ID = trialA.Product_ID);
QUIT;

proc freq data=Summary;
  tables client*product_ID*condition/out=need (drop=percent);
run;

proc transpose data=need out=want (DROP=_:);
     BY Client Product_ID;
     ID Condition;
     VAR COUNT;
RUN;
