How to Sum Vertically

kvera40 — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 04:52:43 GMT

I have a data set from SAS. I am trying to make a report that sums the MSRP for each MAKE of sports cars.

I'm not too sure how to do this.

I tried using the pro univariate but I don't know how to format to sum the MSRP for each make.

data sportscars;

set sashelp.cars;

if type = 'Sports';

run;

Put MAKE in the CLASS or BY statement.

If you include it in the BY statement the data has to be sorted. In the CLASS statement it does not.

Personally, I prefer PROC MEANS.

PROC MEANS DATA= sashelp.cars N SUM;

class make;

var MSRP;

output out=want sum(MSRP) = MSRP_TOTAL;

run;

Thank you so much!!! I had tried proc means, but I did not format it correctly.
