Hi all,
Today I need to calculate the average of 4 variables: wind1,wind2,wind3,wind4.
The answer is
data storm_wingavg;
set pg1.storm_range;
*Add assignment statements;
windavg=mean(wind1,wind2, wind3,wind4);
run;
But I remember there is one way using "of" or else when dealing with variables having the same prefix like this case, but I do not know the keyword to search for documents about that. Can you please hint me out?
Thanks in advance.
After learning for a while, I come back with another solution to add on in case anyone coming and search this discussion
windavg = mean(of wind1-wind4);
/*or*/
windavg=mean(of w:);
/*or*/
windavg=mean(of wind:);
Cheers,
