i have two tables in sas ed which have the same columns and I need to sum variable
table 1:
Id Name count
1 A 20
2 B 45
3 C 56
4 D 10
table 2 :
Id Name count
1 A 7
2 B 15
3 C 75
4 D 80
output i want:
Id Name count
1 A 27
2 B 60
3 C 131
4 D 90
Append the tables and use proc means?
Note that this creates a view which means the table doesn't really exist but is just used for the calculation. If you want a real combined table delete the view portion.
data combined / view=combined;
set table1 table2;
run;
proc means data=combined nway;
class name;
var count;
run;

If you're using the GUI then you should use the Append Task to combine the data and then a query or summarize task.
Not sure if you can do unions via the query builder, if you can that's another viable approach.
