Hi
Could anyone help on how to create a new column(total) by adding the sum of two numerical variables(var1, var2) from the main table, using proc sql?
For example,
if i want to add var1 and var2 columns and name the new column as total, from work.project.
Thanks
Is this a serious question?
proc sql;
select *, sum(var1,var2) as total
from your_table;
quit;
