count ids with two or more observation

lillymaginta — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:17:11 GMT

id   drug 
1    a
1   a
1   a
1  b
1  c
1 c
2 a
2 b
2 b
2 b
2 c
2 c

I have the following data. I want to create an output that provide me with the total number of id who have 2 or more of a specific drug. For example for id1: count the id one for a, none for b, and one for c

here is the output I am looking for

drug total ids

a 1

b 1

c 2

Post test data in the form of a datastep!

Just a rough guess:

proc sql;
  create table WANT as
  select ID,
           DRUG
           count(*) as RES
  from   HAVE
  group by ID,DRUG
  having RES >= 2;
quit;

If you know how to read PROC FREQ output, two PROC FREQs should do the job nicely.

proc freq data=have;

tables drug * id / noprint out=counts;

run;

proc freq data=counts;

tables drug;

where count > 1;

run;

The output data set from the first PROC FREQ counts the number of observations for each DRUG / ID combination.

The report from the second PROC FREQ will give you a list of the drugs, and the FREQUENCY column is the number of IDs.
