Hi everyone,
I have a data set, which I want to divide in quin-tiles. I mean, I want to separate 5 equal populated groups based on the value of
one of variables.
Is there a direct proc for that kind of purpose?
Thank you

The UNIVARIATE procedure is also worth checking out as you can code for any number of equally-sized percentile groups.
Thanks a lot Arthur,
Proc Rank exactly did what I wanted to do.
