I have the following dataset:
Subject Score
1 3.432
2 4.83455
3 6.8333
4 14.834
and i want:
Subject Score Score_round
1 3.432 3
2 4.83455 5
3 6.8333 7
4 14.234 14
So far I've only found (but only as an output):
data new;
format score 9.0;
set old;
run;
I ultimately want a new variable created in the dataset called score_round (from the score variable)
data have;
input Subject Score ;
cards;
1 3.432
2 4.83455
3 6.8333
4 14.834
5 14.234
;
data want;
set have;
score_round=round(score);
run;
did you try the round function?
score_round=round(score);
data have;
input Subject Score ;
cards;
1 3.432
2 4.83455
3 6.8333
4 14.834
5 14.234
;
data want;
set have;
score_round=round(score);
run;
did you try the round function?
score_round=round(score);
thank you!! thought it was gonna be something more complicated 🙂
Although you can create a new variable that is the rounded value, perhaps you really want a format to show the rounded value rather than a new variable? There's good reasons to do things your way, and there's good reasons to NOT do things your way. It depends.
