Hello, I need to use proc means only for rows that meet two criteria. For example:
pre post dif
1 0 -1
0 4 4
3 2 -1
0 0 0
5 5 0
I'd like to run proc means and exclude the 4th row.
I've tried using "where A ne 0 and B ne 0" and where "A ne 0 or B ne 0" and neither provide the correct output. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Unsuccessful code:
proc means data=ABC mean sum;
var pre post dif;
where pre ne 0 and post ne 0;
run;
proc means data=ABC mean sum;
var pre post dif;
where pre ne 0 or post ne 0;
run;
I'd like to run proc means and exclude the 4th row.
where not (pre eq 0 and post eq 0);
Alternatively
where (pre ne 0) or (post ne 0);
Your last code works for me.
Provide example output for a given input set and describe why it is incorrect, especially for that second proc means code as @PaigeMiller indicates.
