How to calculate average within format ranges?

[KemarRoach]

Hello everyone

My worry is about having a deep understanding of  FORMAT

So i m trying to calculate the average within  each range that is created within the format

Following is the code

proc format;
value SalesRange 0 - <100000 = 'Lower'
                     100000 - <200000 = 'Middle'
                    200000 - high = 'Upper';
run;

data shoerange;
      set sashelp.shoes;
salesreport = put(sales,SalesRange.);
run;

title" sales report";
proc print data = shoerange;
var sales salesreport;
run;

How do i proceed to calculate the average of first range second range and third range

Thanks for your help

Looks like something that has been answered last week.

Your proc format has syntax errors ... then replace everything after proc format with

proc means data=sashelp.shoes mean nonobs;
   class Sales;
   var Sales;
   format Sales SalesRange.;
run;

Your exact question, with the exact same wording, has already been asked and answered. https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-calculate-average-within-format-ranges/m-p/781...

In my opinion, a very poorly designed problem.
