Proc SQL count distinct Question

[LMSSAS]

I am using proc sql to do a summary count of next-step automation and next-step manual, by Worktype: Contact New, Contact Maint, Agency New, and Agency Maint. There are a total of 4 WorkTypes. I am not sure how to structure the query for this. I have started with whats below and getting the output shown, clearly it isn’t right. Does anyone provide s suggestion?

proc sql; 
create table Summary_Combine_NS as
Select 
	'WorkType'n,
	'Next_Step'n,
	 count(Distinct 'Next_Step'n) as Counts
From CPIM_NS_Automation
Group by 'WorkType'n
;
quit;

What is your data(sample) and the required output?

I'm not sure if this is what you asking for. Its the original code with the output. Thank you!

PROC SQL;

Read your SAS log.  It will show that SAS had to remerge the COUNT() aggregate value onto the detailed rows.

If you only want one observation per WORK_TYPE do not include NEXT_STEP in the list of variables to select.

create table Summary_Combine_NS as
select 
  'WorkType'n
 , count(distinct 'Next_Step'n) as Distinct_Steps
 , count(*) as N_observations
  from CPIM_NS_Automation
  group by 'WorkType'n
;

Note that most other implementations of SQL will not allow a query using GROUP BY where there are variables being selected that are neither GROUP BY variables nor aggregate function results.

Thank you, Tom 

I used your query and it definitely got me closer in format to what I'm looking for. My ouput is below. The N_observations colum is actually counting the number of each Work type in the ouput data. What I need to count is the Number of Automation in the Next_Step column and the mumber of Manual in the Next-Step Column. 

Is that possible? 

[Tom · Accepted solution]

Sounds like you just want to add that as one of the GROUP BY variables.

create table Summary_Combine_NS as
select 
   WorkType
 , Next_Step
 , count(*) as N_observations
  from CPIM_NS_Automation
  group by WorkType, Next_Step
;

[LMSSAS]

Yes, that worked and gave me what I'm looking for..
Thank you!!
