All,
I have a large dataset in which the majority of the cells are not populated, indicated by a '.'. This was a result of creating columns when I executed a proc transpose.
A | B | C | A + B + C (CALCULATION) | |
1 | . | 10 | 15 | . |
2 | 20 | 10 | 20 | 50 |
3 | . | . | . | . |
1. In datastep when I try to calculate A + B + C for row 1 in the above example, the returned value is . ,rather than 25. How do I perform a sum across columns when one or more of the fields is empty.
2. Alternatively, is there a quick way of doing an if A = . then A = 0 across two hundred columns, without having to do an if statement for all columns. Can this be done across the whole database.
3. Alternatively, is there something I can do in the proc transpose which populates the fields as 0s rather than . s
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Regards,
Michael
Sum() function: Sum(a,b,c)
Better still leave out the transpose and just SUM the values using PROC SUMMARY using the same BY statement you used in PROC TRANSPOSE.
