Stuck on simple question.

TrainCurrentLandingIn_LineIn_Tankage
Singles332
Doubles9814
Triples44
643
71
81

So I would like to combine all rows indicate 6,7,8 or more for column train into one row as"Quad+", and all the corresponding numbers combined as well.

Something like merge horizontally.

Thank you

Jack

One way is to recode TRAIN and then SUM the other variables.  Is that what you want?

data have ;

  input Train $ Current Landing In_Line In_Tankage ;

cards;

Singles 3 3 2 .

Doubles 9 8 1 4

Triples 4 4 . .

6 4 3 . .

7 . . . 1

8 . . 1 .

;;;;

data step1 ;

  set have ;

  if train not in ('Singles','Doubles','Triples') then train='Quad+' ;

run;

proc summary data=step1 nway ;

  class train ;

  var Current Landing In_Line In_Tankage;

  output out=want sum= ;

run;
