Hi,

I have a particular scenario where I wanted to get the reverse of group by function.

Here is the sample data

Table 1

medicationndcrx_counttotal_qty
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813110
Lipitor59148000813-1-10
Lipitor59148000813110

If I do the summary using the below code

PROC SQL;
   CREATE TABLE WORK.QUERY_FOR_TESTTEST AS
   SELECT t1.medication,
          t1.ndc,
            (SUM(t1.rx_count)) FORMAT=BEST12. AS SUM_of_rx_count,
            (SUM(t1.total_qty)) FORMAT=BEST12. AS SUM_of_total_qty
      FROM WORK.TESTTEST AS t1
      GROUP BY t1.medication, t1.ndc;
QUIT;

I get the result as below.

Table 2

medicationndcSUM_of_rx_countSUM_of_total_qty
Lipitor5914800081310100

Is there a way that I get the Table 1 as out put from table 2. Table 2 is the aggregated data, what I want is the extended as table 1.

What would be the query I should use?

Thanks,

+Sathyan

You want add this aggregated data at the bottom of Table1 ?

PROC SQL;

   CREATE TABLE WORK.QUERY_FOR_TESTTEST AS

select * from WORK.TESTTEST

union all corr

   SELECT t1.medication,
          t1.ndc,
            (SUM(t1.rx_count)) FORMAT=BEST12. AS SUM_of_rx_count,
            (SUM(t1.total_qty)) FORMAT=BEST12. AS SUM_of_total_qty
      FROM WORK.TESTTEST AS t1
      GROUP BY t1.medication, t1.ndc;
QUIT;

I do not want to add the result at the bottom.

What I want is, how do we derive the table 1 detailed information from table 2 summary? I am OK if we do not get the negative values.

Just join the two tables using the group by columns as join key.

Possible only if "total_qty" is constant for all obs in one group and no negative values are present. With a least one negative total_qty/rx_count the number of "restored" observations won't match the number of obs in the original dataset.

data work.faked_original;

       set work.QUERY_FOR_TESTTEST;

      

       length rx_count total_qty i 8;

       drop sum_of_: i;

       do i = 1 to sum_of_rx_count;

              rx_count = 1;

              total_qty = sum_of_total_qty / sum_of_rx_count;

              output;

       end;

run;

Hi Andreas,

Thanks, that was helpful.

But that code will fail when the case is as above. Rx count need not be 1 always.

Let me explain. In line 2 (10mg Tablet) i need 257 identical lines as output, however Total qty in output should be 8.93 (i.e 2297 / 257)

How do we crack this?

Regards,

You will have to set up a few more rules about how to do it.  Once you allow that negative numbers could have been part of the unsummarized table, there are an infinite number of solutions to the problem.

Is that really what you want?

data have;

input @1 Medication $ @21 NDC $ @33 sRX_Count @37 sTotal_QTY;

datalines;

run;

data want(keep=Medication NDC RX_Count Total_QTY) ;

set have;

itx=int(sTotal_QTY/sRX_Count);

do count=1 to itx;
