Hi,

I have a question of summing counts by group while maintaining them individually in the original dataset.

For example:
obs group count -> obs group sum_count
1   1        10           1    1        25
2   1        15           2    1        25
3   2         5            3    2         5

I know there is a way in sas to sum counts by group that gets:
group count
1        25
2        5    

But if I create a new dateset using this output and merge back with my original dateset, the combined dataset would only read up to ''n (group)" instead of my original "N(observations)'.

Is there any other ways of getting my original dateset to my goal?

I couldn't find a direct sas command for doing the equivalent sum_count stata did Smiley Sad

Thanks!!

Try the following code using BY processing:

data have;

input obs group count;

datalines;

1 1 10

2 1 15

3 2 5

;

run;

data want;

do until (last.group);

     set have;

     by group;

     sum_count=sum(count,sum_count); end;

do until (last.group);

     set have;

     by group;

     output; end;

run;


The first do until sum's all counts within each by group and the last do until outputs all observations from the original data set with the sum_count field.

Hope this helps!

PROC SQL let's you do that.

create table want as

select *,sum(count) as sum_count

from have

group by group
