Hello
I'd like to transpose my table with counting occurrences.
Source table:
| ID | VAR1 | VAR2 |
| 1 | HOME | APPLE |
| 1 | AWAY | BANANA |
| 2 | HOME | BANANA |
| 2 | HOME | APPLE |
I wish I get result:
| ID | HOME | AWAY | APPLE | BANANA |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
How can I do it?
Without having any values in code:
data have;
input ID $ VAR1 $ VAR2 $;
datalines;
1 HOME APPLE
1 AWAY BANANA
2 HOME BANANA
2 HOME APPLE
;
data first;
set have;
array vars {*} var:;
do i = 1 to dim(vars);
var = vars{i};
output;
end;
run;
proc freq data=first noprint;
tables id*var / out=want_long;
run;
proc transpose data=want_long out=want (drop=_name_ _label_);
by id;
var count;
id var;
run;
It's not really transposing. You want to get counts within by groups. You could use proc means, proc SQL, proc summary.
data test;
input ID var1 $ var2 $;
cards;
1 HOME APPLE
1 AWAY BANANA
2 HOME BANANA
2 HOME APPLE
;
proc print;
run;
proc sql;
create table sums as
select ID, sum(var1='HOME') as home, sum(var1='AWAY') as away,
sum(var2='APPLE') as apple, sum(var2='BANANA') as banana
from test
group by ID;
quit;
Without having any values in code:
data have;
input ID $ VAR1 $ VAR2 $;
datalines;
1 HOME APPLE
1 AWAY BANANA
2 HOME BANANA
2 HOME APPLE
;
data first;
set have;
array vars {*} var:;
do i = 1 to dim(vars);
var = vars{i};
output;
end;
run;
proc freq data=first noprint;
tables id*var / out=want_long;
run;
proc transpose data=want_long out=want (drop=_name_ _label_);
by id;
var count;
id var;
run;
