I have a dataset :

 

varName   Levels   Freq     Value

  var1                        2          11

  var1             b         1          12.5

  var1             c         1          9.25

  var1             d         1          12.5

  var2                        1          9.25

  var2             n         3          8.75

  var2             o         1          8

  var2             p         1          9.35

  var2             q         3          8.15

  var2             r         1           5

 

and I want to bin the levels per variable based on their %0-25, %25-50, %50-75 and %75-100 percentiles of the values within the groups. So the data would like :

 

varName   Levels   Freq     Value    new_level

  var1                        2          11             2nd 

  var1             b         1          12.5          3rd

  var1             c         1          9.25          1st

  var1             d         1          12.5          3rd

  var2                        1          9.25          3rd

  var2             n         3          8.75           4th

  var2             o         1          8                2nd

  var2             p         1          9.35           4th

  var2             q         3          8.15           2nd

  var2             r         1           5               1st

 

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Please tell us in terms of the variables that you show what defines a "group".

 

And I think you need to show what the actual 'percentile' value you are assigning to each of those values as I can't see any obvious fit. Are you expecting the freq to affect the percentile value?

@ballardw group is varName here. Value is representing the average per level. Freq does not affect the percentile value. Percentile relates to the rank order of the values.

Something like this?

proc univariate;
	by varname;
	weight freq;
	var value;
	output pctlpre=P_ 
              pctlpts=0 to 100 by 25;
run;
