Please help me with a PROC SUMMARY (only) statement to get the volume by category, weighted volume by category, mean of score by category.

 

Reason I want to use PROC SUMMARY is because I have other code using the same and PROC SUMMARY produces other metrics.

 

data test;

length category score wt 8;

input category score wt;

infile datalines dlm=",";

datalines;

 

1,67,2

1,50,5

1,55,6

2,56,6

2,68,5

3,70,5

4,73,8

run;

A couple of questions:

  • which variable is "volume"?
  • when you say you want to get the volume by category, is this a sum or a mean or something else?
  • when you want weighted volume, what variable does the weighting (and do you want the sum or the mean or something else)?

  • which variable is "volume"? Category is segment, so I want volume and weighted volume by category
  •  
  • when you say you want to get the volume by category, is this a sum or a mean or something else? Count by category
  •  
  • when you want weighted volume, what variable does the weighting (and do you want the sum or the mean or something else)? Column is weight

proc summary data=have;
    class category;
    var wt score;
    output out=stats mean(score)=score_mean sum(wt)=wt_volume;
run;
     

The variable _FREQ_ is the unweighted volume.
