not sure why I'm having so much trouble with this. I'm trying to create a sum column based on a output _freq_ column from proc summary. I ultimately want to make a percent from the freqs like so, where var, _TYPE_ and _FREQ_ are from my output out statement:

 

var_TYPE__FREQ_wantwant2
a1101380.072464
b1231380.166667
c1211380.152174
d1341380.246377
e1501380.362319
f101380

 

 

I can't get want and want2.

Hi @richart  It appears you wanna group by _type_

 

proc sql;
create table want as
select * ,sum(_freq_) as want, _freq_/calculated want as want2  format=8.2
from have
group by _type_
order by _type_ ,var;
quit;

Since VAR is character, this is a very simple job for PROC FREQ.

 

proc freq data=have;
    tables var/noprint out=counts;
run;

If you really want a column called WANT with 138 on every row, this would require another step. But PROC FREQ gives the count for each level of VAR and the percent.
