How can I create a dataset with an average of a variable (DIST) by ID and Date from the dataset above
The final dataset should look like the following
ID | DATE | DIST |
1 | 04/21/15 | 282 |
1 | 05/20/15 | 395 |
2 | 04/21/15 | 285 |
3 | 04/20/15 | 300 |
3 | 05/19/15 | 395 |
Use PROC MEANS with the grouping variable in a CLASS or BY statement.
Here's an example:

Thanks for the solution, that pretty much solved it. I just changed SUM(DIST) to AVG(DIST) to get the average of the DIST values per DATE.
