Hi,
This might be very simple but I will like to find the median (IQR) of an age variable. The age variable is in character format and the code is three digits. Here is an example:
data have;
input Age $;
datalines;
042
043
055
035
065
066
070
098
;
run;
I thought about removing the 0 before converting data to numeric but I don't know how. Is this a meaning idea ?
data have;
input Age $;
datalines;
042
043
055
035
065
066
070
098
;
run;
data have1;
set have;
AgeNum=input(Age,3.);
run;
proc means data=have1 median qrange fw=8;
var AgeNum;
output out=want median= qrange= / autoname;
run;
/* end of program */
