Currently Being Moderated

I have a table with 11 columns and 31 rows the first column is a description and the rest of the columns represent various counts for each description.

What I want to do in SAS is create a table that provides the following for columns 2 - 11:

Sum

Median

Mean

Max

This is really easy to do in excel but I can't seem to figure how to do it in SAS [Version EG.5.1 (5.100.0.12019) (32-bit)]

See attached Dataset .

Thanks, Dick Shryock

Dick,

To get the statistics is quite easy, to add them back to the data table is messy.

To get the statistics, use tasks --> describe --> summary statistics

and select the variables and statistics that you want. It will produce an output report with the data.

If you want to add them to the data table, you can also select output results and it will also produce a SAS dataset with one record containing all the summary statistics for all the variables. Then you need to rename the variables, transpose the data, and append the result to the original.

That format is going to be hard in EG, not impossible, just difficult I think. Partly I have 4.2 to test on so it may be easier in 5.1.

You ok doing code or would you rather do point and click?
