Hi everybody,

Can you help me in this?
Cheers, Malek

proc rank data=sashelp.class out=quintiles groups=5;
 var weight;
 ranks q;
run;
proc print;
run;

What if I needed to trim for the outliers (1%) before ranking for the quintiles?

@Paige answered: Proc Rank or Proc Univariate can inform you which data points are in the top or bottom 1%.
