Hi All,
I am using the IF statements to allocate numbers to variables, then I need to create a new variable that shows the total of these.
But when I use I create the new variable in another data step it doesn't add them together.
IF Active_INAa > ' ' THEN
INAa = 1;
IF Active_INDa > ' ' THEN
INDa = 2;
IF Active_IRSa > ' ' THEN
IRSa = 4;
IF Active_INIa > ' ' THEN
INIa = 8;
Data work.Test2;
SET work.Test1;
Total = INAa + INDa + IRSa + INIa;
RUN;
The Total column is created but is blank.
What am I missing here? Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Dean
missing+value=missing
so try
total=sum(INAa ,INDa , IRSa, INIa);
Try a SUM statement if you want to add them up across your whole dataset:
Data work.Test2;
SET work.Test1;
Total + INAa + INDa + IRSa + INIa;
RUN;
