I have rows of data with common unique IDs. In Summary Table, how do I show a count of distinct IDs not row? Se image below for how my data looks like.
Not sure what your asking but, if the answer is 3 and your dataset is called have, then the following would work:
proc sql;
select count(distinct guestnumber)
from have
;
quit;
Yes, I'm asking for 3. Now how do I make Summary Tables show that count of distinct for each month?
Just include the group by clause:
proc sql;
select count(distinct guestnumber) as answer, month
from have
group by month
;
quit;
Please look at fourth line. This is what I want to do. Under the heading 'Count Distinct_of_GuestNumber'n*, I want to show the count of distinct. And I know that code does not work for Proc Tabulate.
PROC TABULATE
DATA=WORK.QUERY_CLUBSERRANO
'COUNT DISTINCT_of_GuestNumber'n*
count(distinct guestnumber)
GuestNumber*
N
CoinIn*
Sum={LABEL=""}*F=DOLLAR16.2
ActualWin*
Sum={LABEL=""}*F=DOLLAR16.2
TheoWin*
Sum={LABEL=""}*F=DOLLAR17.2
You didn't show any date-related field in your example data. What is the field called and what does it contain?
If it is a date, and your field is called date, you might be able to use something like:
proc sql;
create table want as
select count(distinct guestnumber) as number,
month(date) as month
from have
group by month(date)
;
quit;
Hi, your advice is helpful. The report requires to look like a table using EG tool, Summary Tables. Under the column Count Distinct_of_GuestNumber, it actually has number of counts. I want distinct counts of GuestNumber. Is it possible using Summary Tables?
Run the summary table task twice, the first time save the output to a dataset and the second time use the output from the first run as your input.
The first one generates a unique guest/day record, the second will count the number of unique guests.
I tried that but could not seem to make it work. How would I exactly do it?
I saved it as a dataset.
Then redo the Summary Tables again. It does not gave a count of distinct GuestNumber.
