Hi,

 

Please try below code. 

 

proc means data=your_data sum;

  class id;

  var recruitment;

run;

 

I found referred the solutions from the link https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/sums-and-counts-by-group/td-p/49055.

Look at any of the simple stats procs with a by group, e.g. means, summary, tabulate:

proc means data=have;
  by id;
  var recruitment;
  output out=want sum=sum;
run;
