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.
