I have a dataset (example) which looks like this:

data have;
  infile datalines truncover;
  input type $ quarter phase counter percent;
  datalines;

Im using below code to calculate the mean and the stdev based on the last 4 quarters, this works perfect.

%let n_quarters = 4;

proc sort data=have;
by type phase quarter;
run;

data extract;
counta = 0;
do until (last.phase);
  set have;
  by type phase;
  counta + 1;
end;
countb = 0;
do until (last.phase);
  set have;
  by type phase;
  countb + 1;
  if countb gt (counta - &n_quarters.) then output;
end;
drop counta countb;
run;

proc summary data=extract;
by type phase;
var counter;
output out=want (drop=_type_ _freq_) mean()=mean std()=std;
run;

I want to keep those mean and std and kind of merge the previous two datasets(want & extract). I would like to have a new dataset which looks like this:

type quarter phase counter percent mean std

Add a final MERGE step to your code:

proc summary data=extract;
by type phase;
var counter;
output out=want1 (drop=_type_ _freq_) mean()=mean std()=std;
run;

data want2;
merge
  have
  want1 (in=e)
;
by type phase;
if e;
run;
