This has to be a really simple question but I have been looking through examples and cannot find a good one. Here is my input:
DATA LISTINP;
infile "~/Pgm1ExtInp.txt";
INPUT ID HEIGHT WEIGHT GENDER $ AGE;
RUN;
I want to sum HEIGHT and WEIGHT as columns in the resulting table so the result would look something like:
GENDER HEIGHT WEIGHT
SUM SUM
Male 210 650
Female 190 600
I am trying to use the PROC TABULATE but it is not working. There seem to be at least a hundred examples of how I could break up HEIGHT by GENDER across HEIGHT values and the same for WEIGHT but none where I can just get those values as columns. If this were a SQL statement it would be:
SELECT GENDER, SUM(HEIGHT), SUM(WEIGHT)
FROM LISTINP
GROUP BY GENDER
ORDER BY GENDER;
I have to think the answer looks something like:
PROC TABULATE DATA=LISTINP;
TITLE 'Summary of Height and Weight';
class GENDER;
var HEIGHT, WEIGHT;
table GENDER , HEIGHT * WEIGHT;
But that doesn't work. All help appreciated. Thanks.
RUN;
PROC TABULATE DATA=LISTINP;
TITLE 'Summary of Height and Weight';
class GENDER;
var HEIGHT WEIGHT;
table GENDER , (HEIGHT WEIGHT)*sum;
run;
Or: height*sum weight*sum; the statistic isn't formally needed as defaults to sum for VAR but I prefer to explicitly state the statistic so I can debug easier.
Your request with height*weight is going to attempt to nest (cross) height and weight.
Also, remove the comma from the VAR statement.

Thank You! That does it. You will probably be seeing a number of simple questions from me disguised as discussions soon. Thanks again.
