So lets say I have a Age group column with different ages. Can I group the data using proc format, in a way where if the data is less than 18 it formats it to="less than 18" between 18 and 64="18-64" and 64 plus "64 plus".
start with
You can use keywords low and high to specify range
low<18
.
.
.
64>high
proc format;
value use
low <18 = 'x'
18<64 = 'y'
64<high = 'z'
;
Setting up the format:
proc format;
value agerange low - <18 = "less than 18"
18 - < 64 = "18 to <64"
64-high = "64+"
;
run;
Using the format for grouping (just one example):
proc freq data=have;
tables age;
format age agerange.;
run;
