Hello SAS expert,

 

I have a dataset as follows and I want to create a variable count_var1 that reports the number of nonzero value of var1 for each month

month var1

1        5

1        0

1        3

2        0

2        7

2        0

3        9

3        0

3        6

4       10

4        0

4        0

5        7

5        4

5        0

6        8

6        7

6        9

 

so count_var1 would be

month count_var1 

1        2

 

2        1

 

3        2

 

4        1

 

5        2

 

6        3

 

May I ask you kind help on how to implement this ? 

 

Thanks
