How come NB_Port=1 for Name=RTY?

Hello,

 

Not tested :

 

proc sql noprint;
    CREATE TABLE want AS
    SELECT a.*, count(b.PORT)
    FROM a
    LEFT JOIN b
    ON strip(upcase(b.Name))=strip(upcase(a.NAME));
quit;

According to the desired output, you may want to use count(DISTINCT PORT).

 

Edit : Forgot to group by Name. See @SwissC's answer instead.
