I have a dataset consiting of 40 rows (ResInd_1 - ResInd_40) each with a combination of one or more of the numbers 1-19.

Example

ssid  ResInd_1  ResInd_2  ResInd_3  ResInd_4  ...

1        1               1,4            4,8,10,11     2,19

2        2,3            1,5            2,6               1

...

 

I'd like to count the number of times each number occurs in total

Example

obs  occuring

1       4

2       3

3       1

...

Your best bet is to restructure your data using PROC TRANSPOSE and SCAN() it so that you only have one value per cell. 

Then PROC FREQ will do the counts.
