Hi,

 

I would like to add new rows (observations) at the end of my dataset that would be the sum of other rows.

Please note that I'm using aggregate data (not record-level).

 

Here's what my data looks like:

 

REGION           YEAR           GENDER     TOTAL

     1                   2017              M                 10

     2                   2017              M                 5

     3                   2017              M                 3

     1                   2017              F                  11

     2                   2017              F                  4

     3                   2017              F                  7

     1                   2018              M                 10

     2                   2018              M                 8

     3                   2018              M                 6

     1                   2018              F                  9

     2                   2018              F                  7

     3                   2018              F                  11

 

What I want is a row at the end combining all the regions together (by sex and year) with the TOTAL sum.

Something like this:

 

REGION           YEAR           GENDER    TOTAL

   ALL                  2017              M                18

   ALL                  2017              F                 22

   ALL                  2018              M                24

   ALL                  2018              F                 27

 

 

Thank you!

Use PROC SUMMARY to compute the sums, and then append the results to the end of the first data set.

 

proc summary data=have;
    class year gender;
    var total;
    output out=sums(drop=_:) sum=;
run;

proc append base=have new=sums;
run;
