Can I limit my PROC FREQ result to groups where there are more than 30 observations in the below code? In other words, I would like to just report the number of observations in SUV, Sedan, and Sports groups, respectively, using PROC FREQ. In general, I would like to know how I can add a condition to limit my result.

 


proc freq data= sashelp.cars;
	table type/ nopercent nocol; run;
Type Frequency Cumulative
Frequency
Hybrid 3 3
SUV 60 63
Sedan 262 325
Sports 49 374
Truck 24 398
Wagon 30 428

Not Sure directly on a PRINT output, but a workaround could be the following

 

ods output  OneWayFreqs=want(where=(Frequency>30));
proc freq data= sashelp.cars ;
	table type/ nopercent nocol; run;

proc print noobs;run;
Astounding
PROC Star

And what should appear in the Cumulative Frequency column?

Oh, that column isn't needed.
Astounding
PROC Star

If you don't need to worry about cumulative frequency, PROC FREQ can output the right numbers directly into a data set:

 

proc freq data= sashelp.cars;
   table type / noprint out=want (where=(count > 30));
run;
proc print data=want label;
   label count = 'Frequency';
   var type count;
run;
