Follow the guidance below the Post button - post example test data in the form of a datastep, use the {i} button above the post area to post code to retain formatting. Show what you want out at the end. Show logs/code you have done and where you are having diccifulties. Avoid writing in bold an mixed colors.

To do subtotals, you have several options, proc means, summary, proc sql sum() group by, datastep retain count variable. They are each useful in different scenarios.

Finally this a Q&A forum not a contract work request page.

Examine the data set that comes out of this:

proc summary data=have;

class product;

var amount;

output out=stats sum=;

run;

It will contain what you ask, but you will need to study a little to figure out the various pieces of the output. If you want to use SAS, this is a tool you must master.

Please don't store totals in a data set unless its only use will be for 1-1 report display.
Procedures like TABULATE and REPORT has this OOTB.
