Hi All,

I have the following sample dataset:

COL1      COL2     COL3

A               X          100

A               Y          250

C               Z          300

What I want to achieve is the following:

When Col 1 = A and Col 2 = X or Y then add the numbers in COL3 (result should be 350 in this case)

I tried SUM but this did not work. Any tips?

Not sure if this is what you want though:

data have;

input COL1$ COL2$ COL3;

cards;

A X 100

A Y 250

C Z 300

;

data want;

  do until (last.col1);

  set have;

by col1 notsorted;

if col1='A' and col2 in ('X', 'Y') then total+col3;

else total=col3;

end;

  do until (last.col1);

  set have;

by col1 notsorted;

output;

end;

run;

proc print;run;

Oops, if have to use SQL, for the same results:

data have;

input COL1$ COL2$ COL3;

cards;

A X 100

A Y 250

C Z 300

;

proc sql;

select * from

(select *, sum(col3) as total from have group by col1)

where col1='A' and col2 in ('X', 'Y')

union all

select *, col3 as total from have where not (col1='A' and col2 in ('X', 'Y'))

;

quit;

Thanks, if I have text in column 1 how would this code need to be modified? It does not seem to work for anything other than ABCD....

Example if COL1 was:

Textile

Textile

Chore

Works fine for me:

data have;

input COL1:$8. COL2$ COL3;

cards;

Textile X 100

Textile Y 250

Chore Z 300

;

proc sql;

select * from

(select *, sum(col3) as total from have group by col1)

where col1='Textile' and col2 in ('X', 'Y')

union all

select *, col3 as total from have where not (col1='Textile' and col2 in ('X', 'Y'))

;

quit;

I agree with Haikuo, your fully intended result is not obvious from you explaination.  Here is a solution using proc freq for weighted crossfreqs.

data foo;

input (col1 col2) ($) col3;

cards;

A               X          100

A               Y          250

C               Z          300

;

run;

proc freq data=foo;

tables col1*col2 /nopercent nocum nocol norow;

weight col3;

run;

col1      col2

Frequency|X       |Y       |Z       |  Total

---------+--------+--------+--------+

A        |    100 |    250 |      0 |    350

---------+--------+--------+--------+

C        |      0 |      0 |    300 |    300

---------+--------+--------+--------+

Total         100      250      300      650

What you want to do is use the proc means statement. 

data have;

input COL1$ COL2$ COL3;

cards;

A X 100

A Y 250

C Z 300

;

run;

proc sort data=have; by COL1; run;

proc means data=have noprint;

    by COL1;

    output sum=COL3 out=want (drop = _type_ _freq_);

run;

proc print data=want;

run;

This yields the following, which is close to what you asked for:

obs        COL1      COL3

1               A          350

2               B          300

If you want it to be exactly what you asked for (below), you can just merge "want" with "have".

obs        COL1     COL2       COL3

1               A          X            350

2               A         Y           350

2               B          Z            300
