I have a dataset in which each row is a date and there are many columns. All these columns are binary.

I wanted to know how to create a (pivot?) table where some of those columns were the rows now and the cells were the sum of those cases when varA is 1 and varB is one. 

 

Let's say this is my data:

data Have;
 input id var1 var2 var3 varA varB ;
 datalines;
1 1 0 1 1 0 
2 0 0 1 0 1
3 0 1 0 0 0
4 1 0 0 1 0
5 1 1 1 1 1 
;
run;

This is the final result I'm looking for: 

data want;
 input varA varB ;
 datalines;
3 1
1 1
2 2
;
run;

In this case the rows would be var1 var2 and va3 respectively.

How could I do this? Is it possible with a summary table? Could I do this for both when var A and varB are 1 and when they are 0, in the same table?

Its confusing to me how you take the HAVE data set and turn it into the WANT data set. Can you explain the logic?

See this:

data Have;
 input id var1 var2 var3 varA varB ;
 datalines;
1 1 0 1 1 0 
2 0 0 1 0 1
3 0 1 0 0 0
4 1 0 0 1 0
5 1 1 1 1 1 
;

data pretrans;
set have;
name = "varA";
v1 = var1 * vara;
v2 = var2 * vara;
v3 = var3 * vara;
output;
name = "varB";
v1 = var1 * varb;
v2 = var2 * varb;
v3 = var3 * varb;
output;
keep name v1-v3;
run;

proc summary data=pretrans nway;
class name;
var v1-v3;
output out=sum sum()=;
run;

proc transpose
  data=sum
  out=want
;
id name;
var v1-v3;
run;

if you need to make this more flexible, use arrays in the pretrans step.

Under the help of Kurt , I understand what you want now.

 

data Have;
 input id var1 var2 var3 varA varB ;
 datalines;
1 1 0 1 1 0 
2 0 0 1 0 1
3 0 1 0 0 0
4 1 0 0 1 0
5 1 1 1 1 1 
;
run;
proc sql;
create table want as
select sum(var1*varA) as varA,sum(var1*varB) as varB from have
union all
select sum(var2*varA) as varA,sum(var2*varB) as varB from have
union all
select sum(var3*varA) as varA,sum(var3*varB) as varB from have
;
quit;
