Transpose data

[devsas]

Good afternoon all! Here is the sample dataset (real data has 9 variable conditions)

data have;

input Neuroses $ Psychoses $ SignsSimpt $ Antisocial $ Depression $ Anomalies_Neurological $ ;

datalines;

;

run;

So basically under each diagnosis condition, there are patient id's. A patient could have more than one condition. What i want is an output which tells that how many patients have 9 conditions at once, 8 conditions at once, 7 conditions at once and so on. So, essentially something like this

No of conditions  1        2          3      4   5     6   7     8   9

No of members  450    378    245  200 145 100 56  34 12

I tried playing around with simple proc transpose, but im not going anywhere. Thanks so much!

Let convert file HAVE to HELP with two variables: Diagnosys and Patient_ID,

thus can be done in a code like:

data HELP;

  set HAVE;

        Patient_ID = Neuroses;      Diagnosys = 'Neuroses';  output;

        Patient_ID = Psychoses;    Diagnosys = 'Psychoses';  output;

        ... etc all 9 kinds of diagnosys ....

run;

Then use PROC FREQ with the OUT option twice to get your wanted output:

1st time TABLE Patient_ID  (assuming no patients with duplicates of same diagnosys)

2nd time TABLE  Count       (or _FREQ_ depends on SAS version)

run;

data NORMAL;
  set HAVE;
  length CONDITION $32;
  do CONDITION='Neuroses','Psychoses','SignsSimpt','Antisocial','Depression','Anomalies_Neurological'; 
    PATIENT=vvaluex(CONDITION); output;
  end;
  keep CONDITION PATIENT;
run;     

proc sql;
  create table COUNTS as select count(*) as NB_CONDITIONS from NORMAL group by PATIENT;
  create table WANT as select NB_CONDITIONS, count(*) as NB_PATIENTS from COUNTS group by NB_CONDITIONS;
quit;

Thanks Chriznz and Ksharp. Both the solutions worked, i understood Ksharp's better as im not aware of the function used by chrisnz. I will dig deeper into it to learn more.
