How to reuse the calculated mean value of PROC for further calculation?

[ervinodsingh]

I have calculated the mean of a variable using MEAN proc, now I want to use mean value for further calculation. Please help me to reuse or save the calculated mean value for further use.

data test; 
input x ; 
cards; 
100 
200 
300 
; 
run; 

proc means data=test; 
var x; 

run;

You can output to dataset from that in a variety of ways (the manual is your friend), you could do;

proc means data=test; 
  var x; 
  output out=want mean=mean;
run;
