I have a data set

 

 

data have;
input group_id survey_id;
datalines;
111 1
111 4
111 2 222 3 333 4 333 5
333 2 333 1 444 2 ;

Some group_id variables have multiple survey_id responses. I want the following table:

 

Survey_id12345
112021
2 2021
3  000
4   21
5    1

 

I didn't fill the bottom half, since it'll be the same as the upper half.  
Basically, the table should be only for those with multiple group_id's (so I ignore the group_id 222 and 444).  Then, it counts the number of group_id's in each cell (e.g. the cell with Survey_id = 1x4 counts the number of group_id (where there are duplicates of the group_id's) that have both survey_id = 1 and 4).  
Can someone show me how to do this easily? Thanks

Now describe just how any of those cells in the "want" are derived.

Computer code uses rules and we need to know the rules. Examples help but the rules are needed.

 

If I provide the following example:

Input Output

1       3

2       3

3       5

4       4

 

can you tell me what the result for 13 or 444 much less infinity would be? (8 and 23 )

Much less infinity?

Hi,

 

Thanks. It works perfectly. I was wondering what the difference betwen a natural left join and a left join is? I searched online but can't figure it out.

They are the same. NATURAL will automatically find the same variables between left and right table and use these variables in common as the KEY variables to JOIN . NATURAL could save you some words ,
it is the same as " LEFT JOIN ON a.a_survey_id=b.a_survey_id and a.b_survey_id=b.b_survey_id "
