Hi,

 

What is the best way to output the average X (Earnings/price) per year into the dataset with all my other variables. Here is the previous code I have tried but it is not including the mean EP per year next to each row (I need it to show per observation for my future calculation).

 

Thank you!

 

proc sort data=marketadj1;
by fyear X;
run;

proc means data=marketadj1;
var X;
by fyear;
run;

proc univariate data=marketadj1;
var x;
by fyear;
output mean=mean;
run;

proc print data=marketadj1 (obs=100);
run;

 

proc means data=marketadj1;
467 var X;
468 by fyear;
469 output=mean;

If I am understanding the problem properly, you want the original data set, but with an additional column that contains the mean of X. Is that correct? Can you confirm?

 

Try this:

proc summary data=marketadj1 nway;
    class fyear;
    var x;
    output out=_stats_ mean=meanX;
run;
proc sort data=marketadj1;
    by fyear;
run;
data want;
    merge marketadj1 _stats_;
    by fyear;
run;
