i have aa data set
data t;
name rating post;
cards;
a 2 ASE
b 3 ASE
c 4 ITA
d 5 ITA
e 2 VP
f 7 Vp
;run;
want to knw the rating of each person out of whole rating and performed the following query
proc sql;
select first_name,(calculated rating/r) from pawan.test,(select sum(rating) as r from pawan.test1);
quit;
getting error
ERROR: It appears that the CALCULATED variable rating was referenced before it was defined.
ERROR: The following columns were not found in the contributing tables: post.
ERROR: The following columns were not found as CALCULATED references in the immediate query: rating.
I suspect that what you need is not SQL but proc rank:
data have;
length name $12 rating 8 post $12;
input name rating post;
cards;
a 2 ASE
b 3 ASE
c 4 ITA
d 5 ITA
e 2 VP
f 7 Vp
;
proc rank data=have out=want ties=dense;
var rating;
ranks ratingRank;
run;
proc print data=want noobs; run;
if not, tell us what you expect as a result.
Proc sql;
Select *,rating/(select sum(rating) from t) as total_rating
From t;
Quit;
SAS SQL can accomplish this fairly easily.
proc sql;
create table want as
select *, rating/sum(rating) as pct_rating
from have;
quit;
