Hi i have the following table:
| group | reasons | total_events |
| 1 | a | 5 |
| 1 | b | 1 |
| 1 | c | 3 |
| 1 | d | 2 |
| 2 | a | 4 |
| 2 | b | 3 |
| 2 | c | 11 |
| 2 | d | 4 |
What I want is the frequency total by group as denominator; something like this:
| group | reasons | total_events | total_denominator |
| 1 | a | 5 | 11 |
| 1 | b | 1 | 11 |
| 1 | c | 3 | 11 |
| 1 | d | 2 | 11 |
| 2 | a | 4 | 22 |
| 2 | b | 3 | 22 |
| 2 | c | 11 | 22 |
| 2 | d | 4 | 22 |
I tried the following but i get 100% for all.
ods output onewayfreqs=test_owf;/*one way frequency*/
proc freq data=o.have;
table reasons;
by group;
run;
ods listing;
Hi @monday89 Switch to Proc SQL and take advantage of the autoremerge
proc sql;
create table want as
select *,sum(total_events) as total_denominator
from have
group by group;
quit;
/*Or*/
data want;
do _n_=1 by 1 until(last.group);
set have;
by group;
total_denominator=sum(total_denominator,total_events);
end;
do _n_=1 to _n_;
set have;
output;
end;
run;
proc freq data=o.have;
table reasons;
by group;
weight total_events;
run;
This gets you close. It does not produce the column named TOTAL_DENOMINATOR, but that's easy to add via a data step.
@novinosrin's SQL solution is what came to my mind first. Recommended.
