I've come across this problem that I want to average up rows that have exact same OrganizationID, Product and ProductLine, make it one row, with summed numerator as new numerator, summed denominator as new denominator, and summed numerator/summed denominator as new rate(AggregareRate).
The average up will only happen if all three column values are the same(OrganizationID, Product and ProductLine). So in the example below, when either product or productline have different values under same organizationID, the rows stay the way it is - only red rows got averaged up.
Here is the input data:
OrganizationID | Product | ProductLine | numerator | denominator | rate |
1 | Shoes | Commercial | 50 | 200 | 0.25 |
1 | Shoes | Commercial | 60 | 120 | 0.5 |
1 | Shoes | Non-Commercial | 30 | 50 | 0.6 |
2 | Shoes | Commercial | 80 | 160 | 0.5 |
2 | Shoes | Non-Commericial | 90 | 180 | 0.5 |
2 | Cloth | Commercial | 70 | 100 | 0.7 |
2 | Cloth | Commercial | 60 | 300 | 0.2 |
The desired output should look like:
OrganizationID | Product | ProductLine | numerator | denominator | AggregateRate |
1 | Shoes | Commercial | 110 | 320 | 0.34375 |
1 | Shoes | Non-Commercial | 30 | 50 | 0.6 |
2 | Shoes | Commercial | 80 | 160 | 0.5 |
2 | Shoes | Non-Commericial | 90 | 180 | 0.5 |
2 | Cloth | Commercial | 130 | 400 | 0.325 |
Thank you!
What have you tried so far?
PROC MEANS, SQL, SUMMARY, UNIVARIATE, or DATA STEP.
Check the PROC MEANS examples for one related to your question.
https://github.com/statgeek/SAS-Tutorials/blob/master/proc_means_basic
If youre having difficulties with a specific issue from here post your code and log.
There are many tools to reach the desired output, as @Reeza mentiond.
You can do it in one step (datastep) or in two steps (proc means or proc summary + datastep).
Attached is the code for one datastep, assuming data is already sorted
BY OrganizationID Product and ProductLine;
data want;
set have;
by OrganizationID Product ProductLine;
retain sum_num sum_denom;
if first.ProductLine then do;
sum_num = nemurator;
sum_denom = denominator;
end; else do;
sum_num =sum(sum_num nemurator);
sum_denom = sum(sum_denom denominator);
end;
if last.ProductLine then do;
AggregateRate = sum_num / sum_denom;
output;
end;
format AggregateRate 8.5; /* or any other preffered format */
run;
