I have about 2330000 observations, I want to assign evenly spaced 10,000 buckets. The bucket criteria would the max(var)-min(var)/10,000. So for example, my maximum value is 3000 and my minimum value is -200, So my bucket size will be (3000+200)/10,000=0.32. So any value between -200 to (-200+0.32) should go to bucket 1, and any value between (-200+0.32) to (-200+0.32*2) should go to bucket 2 and so on. The dataset will be something like this:
Var_value bucket
-200 1
-53 ?
-5 ?
-46 ?
5
8
4
56
7542
242

Why not use PROC RANK GROUPS=1000 .........?
