Hi Folks:

I'd like to impute data where id1name='D'. I'd like to bring current n=21 to a total of  n =120 keeping the frequency distribution of n by idname. I tried it manually by using proc freq on the 'n' and multipling 120 by the resulting percent from proc freq and allocated those numbers to idname. I will have to do the same thing for the rest of id1name such as 'C' too.

 

Could you please help accomplish this imputation task more efficiently than manual?
