Is there a countif function in SAS, similar to the one in Excel, that can count across columns? The data I'm working with has several columns and rows with a value of 11, 01, 10, or 00 which I need to count for each row.
SAMPLE
SECTION 1 | SECTION 2 | SECTION 3 | SECTION 4 | SECTION 5 |
00 | 10 | 00 | 11 | 00 |
11 | 00 | 11 | 11 | 11 |
00 | 10 | 00 | 00 | 00 |
11 | 00 | 10 | 01 | 10 |
01 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 |
00 | 11 | 00 | 11 | 00 |
10 | 00 | 00 | 10 | 01 |
00 | 10 | 00 | 11 | 00 |
11 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 10 |
WANT
11 | 01 | 10 | 00 |
1 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
4 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
0 | 0 | 1 | 4 |
1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
0 | 1 | 0 | 4 |
2 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
0 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
1 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
1 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
Thanks so much!
Maybe the COUNT function is even more similar to Excel's COUNTIF function.
Are SECTION variables character?
data have;
input (section1-section5) ($);
cards;
00 10 00 11 00
11 00 11 11 11
00 10 00 00 00
11 00 10 01 10
01 00 00 00 00
00 11 00 11 00
10 00 00 10 01
00 10 00 11 00
11 00 00 00 10
;
data want;
set have;
length s $50;
s=catx(',', of section:);
_11=count(s, '11');
_01=count(s, '01');
_10=count(s, '10');
_00=count(s, '00');
keep _:;
run;
Or are they numeric?
data have2;
input section1-section5;
cards;
00 10 00 11 00
11 00 11 11 11
00 10 00 00 00
11 00 10 01 10
01 00 00 00 00
00 11 00 11 00
10 00 00 10 01
00 10 00 11 00
11 00 00 00 10
;
data want2;
set have2;
length s $50;
array a section:;
do i=1 to dim(a);
s=catx(',', s, put(a[i],z2.));
end;
_11=count(s, '11');
_01=count(s, '01');
_10=count(s, '10');
_00=count(s, '00');
keep _:;
run;
data have;
k=_n_;
input SECTION1 SECTION2 SECTION3 SECTION4 SECTION5;
cards;
0 10 0 11 0
11 0 11 11 11

1 0 0 0 0
0 11 0 11 0
10 0 0 10 1
0 10 0 11 0
11 0 0 0 10
;
proc transpose data=have out=_have;
by k ;
var section:;
run;
proc freq data=_have noprint;
by k;
tables col1/out=temp;
run;
proc transpose data=temp out=want prefix=count;
by k ;
var count;
id col1;
run;
Thanks for the response - it's much appreciated!
