I have a dataset that has many age categories by race and I am interested in combining all age categories in each race in each county to create a "total" variable for each county . 

 

thank you! 

 

I'd like the final data to look like this: 

 County Race Age _2020

xAsi15-1965
xAsi20-2434
xAsi25-2945
xAsiTotal144
yAsi15-1916
yAsi20-249
yAsi25-2913
yAsiTotal38

 

the original data looks like this: 

County Race Age _2020
xAsi15-1965
xAsi20-2434
xAsi25-2945
yAsi15-1916
yAsi20-249
yAsi25-2913

Do you want the final output as a report or table; or do you want the final output to be a SAS data set with the extra rows?

How are you planning to display your table? PROC REPORT/TABULATE/MEANS can do this automatically. 

And is it created from a summary procedure initially? If so, you can likely

y Asi 20-24 9
y Asi 25-29 13


add in the total calculation to that step.
