Counting number of record meet conditions

[hhchenfx]

Hi Everyone,

I have following data with 3 variables.

I want to count the number of record that meet a condition say:

5<var1 and 4<var2 and 3<var3

5<var1 and 4<var2 and 6<var3

(always "<" less than)

in the general case, I want to count the number of record that meet each of the combination of condition  like:

do v1=5 to 20 by 5;

do v2=4 to 30 by 4;

do v3=0 to 30 by 6;

The output file should report the number of record meeting each combination.

(I would prefer the Do Loop method)

Please help me with that.

Thank you so much.

data have;

input var1 var2 var3 ;

datalines;

10 20 15

11 2 34

5 25 40

;

run;

Something like this...

data want(drop=i);

set have;

count=0;

array v{3} var1-var3;

do i=1 to dim(v);

if 5<v{i} then count+1;

end;

if count=dim(v);

run;

Oh, not sure why I choose these number, they are so missleading. I just update the info.

Thank you.

[stat_sas]

data want(drop=i);

set have;

count=0;

array v{3} var1-var3;

do i=1 to 1;

if 5<v{i} and 4<v{i+1} and 6<v{i+2} then count+1;

end;

if count=dim(v);

run;

If you would like to filter records according to one (?) condition and keep those records:

data have;
input var1 var2 var3 ;
datalines;
10 20 15
11 2 34
5 25 40
;
run;

Data Want (Keep=Var: Count);
  Do i=1 By 1 Until (Eof);
     Set Have End=Eof;
  If (Var1 ge 5 & Var2 ge 4 & Var3 ge 6) Then Count=Sum(Count,1);
  End;
  Do j=1 To i;
    Set Have;
If (Var1 ge 5 & Var2 ge 4 & Var3 ge 6) Then Output;
  End;
Run;

If you only need the total count, leave out the 2nd loop.

Well, I would assign a group to each valid so you can count:

data have;
  input var1 var2 var3 ;
datalines;
10 20 15
11 2 34
5 25 40
;
run;

/* This step generates another dataset with all the conditions outputting only rows which fulfill the criteria and assign a category to each */
data _null_;
  call execute('data want; set have; length condition $2000;');
  do i=5 to 20 by 5;
    do j=4 to 30 by 4;
      do k=0 to 30 by 6;
        call execute(' if '||strip(put(i,best.))||' < var1 and '||strip(put(j,best.))||' < var2 and '||strip(put(k,best.))||' < var3 then do;
                        condition="'||strip(put(i,best.))||' < var1 and '||strip(put(j,best.))||' < var2 and '||strip(put(k,best.))||'";
                        output;
                       end;');
      end;
    end;
  end;
  call execute('run;');
run;

/* Then count the categories */

proc sql;
  create table TOTALS as
  select  distinct
          CONDITION,
          COUNT(CONDITION) as RESULT
  from    WORK.WANT
  group by CONDITION;
quit;
