One way is to create format that will group values as you want.

 

proc format library=work;
value myweekdays
1,7 = '1 7'
2 - 6 = '2 to 6'
;
run;

data have;
 input weekday      sum;
datalines;
1               10450
2                5670
3                78201
4                8723
5                60981
6                8921
7                34876
;
proc means data=have sum;
   class weekday;
   format weekday myweekdays.;
   var sum;
run;

Groups of values created with a format can be used in almost any analysis, graphing or reporting procedure to create the needed groups.

In the actual data:

You only expect 2 numbers at the end?

The first field is not a date?
