I am working on a project that involves two separate CSV files. The first data set, "Trips" has seven columns, with a trip_id, bike_id, duration, from_station_id, to_station_id, capacity and usertype. User type is the only character values, the rest are numerical. The second csv file has station_id and station_name. I am trying to identify the number of observations that have the same from_station_id and to_station_id (frequency of repeated trips). 

 

I have tried to use proc freq, proc sort, and data DUPS, but have not been able to produce a table that shows the frequency of repeated trips. Below is the code that I have tried and I have attached the csv files with my data for reference. (DIvvyTrips is the file with from_station_id and to_station_id). 

title Repeat Trips;
proc freq data = divvytrips;
	tables from_station_id to_station_id;
run;

/*proc sort data = DivvyTrips nouniquekeys out=duplicates;
	by from_station_id to_station_id;
run; 

title "Repeated Trips";
proc print data = DivvyTrips;
run;

/*data DUPS;
	set DivvyTrips;
	by from_station_id to_station_id;
	if from_station_id and to_station_id then list;
	else output;
run;



title "Repeated Trips";
proc print data=DivvyTrips;
run;*/

Add a filter to the output data set?

 

title Repeat Trips;
proc freq data = divvytrips noprint;
	tables from_station_id*to_station_id / list out=want (where=(count>1));
run;

proc print data=want;
run;

Thank you! How can I get that table to show only the recurring observations, and eliminate the observations that only occur once?
