Hello everyone!
This Forum is just the best for help and hints!
I am trying to produce counts and I am having difficulty trying to figure out the logic to code this scenario. I am trying to count individuals by their age as well as produce counts in their age groupings. I am essentially counting each individual twice (once at their actual age and then again in an age grouping category) My SAS code seem to capture the record once and I cannot figure out a way to count the record twice. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have included sample data and a results table in which I would like to see the counts. The results table under the Age column will reflect the age of (ID) as well as counted again in the age grouping. For example, ID=SJ990 is counted once under age (12) and then again under age (10-15) under the Count column. Can anyone assist me with figuring out how I can achieve this? Thank you in advance!
Sample Data Table | ||
ID | age | location |
SJ990 | 12 | R119 |
MR213 | 17 | R119 |
SS913 | 17 | B099 |
AT893 | 11 | B099 |
TL332 | 22 | B099 |
Results Table | ||
Age | Count | |
11 | 1 | |
12 | 1 | |
17 | 2 | |
22 | 1 | |
10-15 | 2 | |
16-22 | 3 |
SAS supports this using Multilabel Formats.
Rough idea:
proc format;
value age_mlf_fmt (multilabel)
10 = 10
11 = 11
12 = 12
13 = 13
....
10-15 = '10 - 15'
16-22 = '16 - 22';
run;
proc tabulate data=have;
class age / mlf;
format age age_mlf_fmt.;
table age;
run;
Tested fully worked exmaple:
