Hello I am looking to be able to count the number of observations with values < 25 and also those > 25 but < 30. I have read some other solved questions but haven't been able to produce a successful code. Thanks for any help!

I would use a format, to account for all categories:

 

proc format;

value bmi_cat

low - < 25 = 'Under 25'

25 - < 30 = '25 to under 30'

30 - high = '30+';

run;

 

proc freq data=have;

tables bmi / missing;

format bmi bmi_cat.;

run;

 

Regardless of the method that you choose, note that missing values are less than 25.  Make sure you account for them in a way that makes sense to you.
