I need to do a calculation for each level of detail in proc sql: count number of courses for each ID, and sum number of Failed for each ID. Here is a sample of data. Notice that COURSE is not a numeric variable, so I cannot use proc summary or proc means. Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks!

 

IDCOURSEFailed

1NGR-79450

I don't know what to do with the hypothetical case where a given id failed the same course twice. This counts it as two failures:

 

proc sql;
select 
	id,
	count(distinct course) as nbCourses,
	sum(failed) as nbFailed
from myData
group by ID;
quit;
PG

You can use proc summary with your data:

data have;
input id $ course $ failed;
datalines;
1 NGR-7892  1
1 NGR-7945  0
1 NGR-7974  0
2 LIS-5973  0
2 LIS-5942  1
2 NGR-6207  0
2 TTE-6655  1
;

proc summary data=have nway;
var failed;
class id;
output
  out=want (drop=_type_ rename=(_freq_=count))
  sum(failed)=
;
run;
