The Univ Edition got me started in school but felt too limited for bigger projects. It was perfect for basic courses but couldn't handle advanced classes or intern work. Now with the paid version at my job, it's a whole different ballgame. Suddenly I have all these fancy tools that blew my mind. But best of all is the support - whenever I'm stuck those SAS wizards save my butt. They fix things so fast, keeps my productivity high. The collab features also rule. No more combining files, just work seamlessly in real-time. And the community is gold for benchmarking my work and solving coding issues. Man, that development dervices part of the paid SAS is also a lifesaver. There was this one project where we really needed to up our predictive modeling game. The data was messy as hell too. I tried for weeks to get it working but just hit wall after wall. It was super seamless too - I found the information and I was able to easily import the files for further work using SAS university's integration feature.

Your indentation is messed up.    By indenting the third step (the PROC) you make the code file look like you want to run the third step in the middle of the second step.  You have to finish one step before you can start running another.   So put the steps in the right order. proc summary data=work.boston_airbnb_listings nway; var price_numeric; output out=summary_stats p15= p15 p25= p25 mean= mean_reviews ; run; data work.boston_airbnb_ratings; set work.boston_airbnb_listings; if _n_=1 then set summary_stats; run; Now that you have the summary stats merged back onto the detailed records you can begin to use them together.   But I don't think you are answering the question.   You seem to be trying to subset to values between the 15th percentile and the 25th percentile. But they are asking for the TOP values.  Perhaps just the top 15% but perhaps as much as the top 25%.  Totally different subset.   Also do you have those other variables it mentions? Or do you need to calculate those also?   ... View more
