Proc sql question

machete — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:26:08 GMT

Hello

I am trying to calculate the sum of a variable per group when/conditional that another variable, venues=1

I tried the code below and does not net the correct resutls. I also tried using 'having'. Both having and where, keep in the produced table only those rows where venues=1.

I would like to have the sum for those where venues=1 but in this column (venuest1) also keep the rest of the rows in the dataset where venues ne 1, simply add them by = 0.

so the code in my opinion should include something of the type if venues=1 then do, 'else' venuest1=0

I am a beginnger in proc SQL so any suggestions how to solve this are more than welcome.

proc sql;

create table neo.regtest1 as

select * , sum(absvolume) as venuesT1

from neo.regtest

where venues=1

group by cptyname;

run;

Many thanks in advance!!

Something like the following may work:

If it doesn't, post sample data and sample expected output.

proc sql;

create table neo.regtest1 as

select * , sum(absvolume*(venues=1)) as venuesT1

from neo.regtest

group by cptyname;

run;

You need to include sample data, otherwise it is next to impossible to suggest anything helpful.
