Hello,

In SAS EG, is there a way to use the statement count(distinct flob) over (partition by police) as N, like the example for test3 (see code below) and if so, how ?

data test;
   input police $ flob $ Other_info $;
   datalines;
1 A X1
1 B X1
1 C X1
1 D X1
1 E X1
2 A TR
2 C TR
;
RUN;

PROC SQL;
create table test1 as
select *,
		count(distinct flob) as N
from test
group by police;
QUIT;

PROC SQL;
create table test2 as
select *,
		count(distinct flob) over (partition by police) as N
from test;
QUIT;

No.

But you don't need it in SAS.

Just use your first example with the normal GROUP BY and SAS will remerge the count onto the appropriate values of A.
