Hi All,

 

Having some trouble getting a Proc Transpose to work after a Proc SQL

 

Data example

Data Report.PST_Unique;
	Set CAR.ET;
	Keep  EVENT_DT EMPLOYMENT_TYPE Logon_ID Count;
	Where EVENT_DT >= '01Jul2016'd
		and CENTRE_TYPE = 'PST'
		and CLUSTER = 'PST - Customer';
	format EVENT_DT WeekDate30.;
Run;

proc sql;
	select EVENT_DT, EMPLOYMENT_TYPE, count(distinct(Logon_ID)) as count
	from Report.PST_Unique
	group by EVENT_DT, EMPLOYMENT_TYPE;
quit;

Proc Transpose data=Report.PST_Unique out=work.PST_UNIQUE_FINAL (DROP=_NAME_);
	By EVENT_DT;
	ID EMPLOYMENT_TYPE;
	VAR Count;
run;

 

 

Output from the Proc SQL

Event DateEmployment Typecount
Friday, July 1, 2016Ongoing - Full time88
Friday, July 1, 2016Ongoing - Part time56
Monday, July 4, 2016Ongoing - Full time80
Monday, July 4, 2016Ongoing - Part time70
Tuesday, July 5, 2016Ongoing - Full time80
Tuesday, July 5, 2016Ongoing - Part time62
Wednesday, July 6, 2016Ongoing - Full time81
Wednesday, July 6, 2016Ongoing - Part time47

Friday, July 8, 2016Ongoing - Part time53
Monday, July 11, 2016Ongoing - Full time75
Monday, July 11, 2016Ongoing - Part time63

 

 

 

When the Proc Transpose runs it returns the following error.

 

42         Proc Transpose data=Report.PST_Unique out=work.PST_UNIQUE_FINAL (DROP=_NAME_);
43          By EVENT_DT;
44          ID EMPLOYMENT_TYPE;
45          VAR Count;
ERROR: Variable COUNT not found.

 

This is the output I'm trying to get returned

 

 

EVENT_DTOngoing - Full timeOngoing - Part time
Friday, July 1, 20168856
Monday, July 4, 20168070
Tuesday, July 5, 20168062
Wednesday, July 6, 20168147
Thursday, July 7, 20168457
Friday, July 8, 20167453
Monday, July 11, 20167563

 

 

Also how do I sum Ongoing - Full time and Ongoing - Part time together to get a daily total when using 'distinctive'.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Cheers

The log says it all. Your Proc SQL does not create a table. Add a create a table statement to the top and then pass that dataset to your proc transpose.

Your transpose code is correct. I hope COUNT being keyword is not creating any problem, try to use different name for count like count_login_id.

Thanks RahulG 

 

I have changed the name and still comes back with ERROR: Variable COUNT_ID not found.

 

Didn't realise that Count was a keyword so will keep away from using it as a name from now on.

data input;
input event_Dt employment_type $20. count_id;
format event_dt date9.;
datalines;
152 Ongoing - Full time 34
152 Ongoing - Part time 88
153 Ongoing - Full time 48
153 Ongoing - Part time 45
;
proc transpose data = input out=trans(drop = _name_);
by event_dt;
ID employment_type ;
var count_id;
run;

I tried this code and it works well. 

Please check if your dataset after sql is correct.

Hi RahulG,

 

The output after the SQL is right

 

Event DateEmployment Typecount_ID
Friday, July 1, 2016Ongoing - Full time88
Friday, July 1, 2016Ongoing - Part time56
Monday, July 4, 2016Ongoing - Full time80
Monday, July 4, 2016Ongoing - Part time70
Tuesday, July 5, 2016Ongoing - Full time80
Tuesday, July 5, 2016Ongoing - Part time62
Wednesday, July 6, 2016Ongoing - Full time81
Wednesday, July 6, 2016Ongoing - Part time47
Thursday, July 7, 2016Ongoing - Full time84
Thursday, July 7, 2016Ongoing - Part time57

 

When the Proc Transpose runs that is when I get the error 😞

Thanks Reeza,

 

Added

proc sql;

	create table PST_Unique_SQL as 
select EVENT_DT, EMPLOYMENT_TYPE, count(distinct(Logon_ID)) as count_ID
		from Report.PST_Unique
			group by EVENT_DT, EMPLOYMENT_TYPE;
quit;

and now get the Transpose to work.

 

 

Now how do I create a daily 'Total' column in the final Proc Print?

If column you may need Proc tabulate. 

If at end maybe sumtotal statements in Proc print.
