I'm having difficulty with a pretty easy procedure. I'm trying to get the number of records based on groups (O, IV and Combination of O+IV). 

I have the following data.

data have;
infile datalines delimiter=",";
input ID, recordkey, route $;
datalines;
1,1,IV
1,2,IV
1,3,IV
2,4,O
2,5,IV
2,6,IV
3,7,O
3,8,O
;

How would I get a count of unique IDs that are O alone, IV alone and combination of O and IV? 

 

I want to get the following results:

Oral=1

IV=1

Combo=1

union
select 'Combo' as name,count(distinct id) from have group by id having count(distinct route)>1;

do these 

3,7,O
3,8,0

 belong to O?  

 

And count of distinct ids for IV seems 2 , are you sure it's IV=3????

Sorry, I updated the error in the initial code on the last line.

Hi @tm28   a very interesting problem.  Certainly not that simple for me as it is probably for you

 

data have;
infile datalines delimiter=",";
input ID recordkey route $;
datalines;
1,1,IV
1,2,IV
1,3,IV
2,4,O
2,5,IV
2,6,IV
3,7,O
3,8,O
;

proc sql;
create table want as
select grp, count(distinct id) as count
from
(select *,ifc(count(distinct route) =1 ,route,'combo') as grp from have group id)
group by grp;
quit;

This works great for the most part, except for O route.. It should have a count of 1, not 2.

@tm28  Here is my test:

 

data have;
infile datalines delimiter=",";
input ID recordkey route $;
datalines;
1,1,IV
1,2,IV
1,3,IV
2,4,O
2,5,IV
2,6,IV
3,7,O
3,8,O
;

proc sql;
create table want as
select grp, count(distinct id) as count
from
(select *,ifc(count(distinct route) =1 ,route,'combo') as grp from have group id)
group by grp;
quit;

proc print noobs;run;
grp count
IV 1
O 1
combo 1

This got to what I wanted (minus the union part of the code), thanks so much!
