I am trying to create a data set using SQL  in which the count is grouped by another variable. It happens that no record meet the criteria, so I expect it to bring back zero by the group variable. For some reasons, I keep on getting zero rows.

 

For example, suppose my data is like this:

data have;
input id a b trtpn;
datalines ;
1 2 4 1
2 3 5 1
3 4 0 2
4 5 1 2
4 2 1 3
3 3 4 3
3 5 7 3
;
run;

proc sql noprint;
create table want as
select trtpn,count(distinct id) as count
from have
where a=10
group by trtpn;

quit;

 

If it's correct ,the output should look like the following:


trtpn count
1     0
2     0

3     0

 Any help is appreciated.

Pay attention:

     ... from have where a=10 ...

results into zero observations.
