Lecture 5 Sorting, Printing, and Summarizing Your Data

Review Creating and Redefining Variables SAS Functions IF-THEN Statements Grouping Observations with IF-THEN/ELSE Subsetting Data Simplifying Programs with Arrays

Lecture Structure Using SAS Procedures Printing Your Data with PROC PRINT Changing the Appearance of Printed Values with Formats Summarizing Your Data Using PROC MEANS

Using SAS Procedures LABEL ReceiveDate = 'Date order was received' ShipDate = 'Date merchandise was shipped';

Printing Your Data with PROC PRINT Use the NOOBS option in the PROC PRINT statement. If you don’t want observation numbers Print the labels instead of the variable names, then add the LABEL option as well. PROC PRINT DATA = data-set NOOBS LABEL; The following are optional statements that sometimes come in handy:

Changing the Appearance of Printed Values with Formats CharacterNumericDate $formatw.formatw.dformatw. FORMAT statement FORMAT Profit Loss DOLLAR8.2 SaleDate MMDDYY8.; FORMAT statements can go in either DATA steps or PROC steps. If the FORMAT statement is in a DATA step, then the format association is permanent and is stored with the SAS data set. If the FORMAT statement is in a PROC step, then it is temporary— affecting only the results from that procedure. PUT statement PUT Profit DOLLAR8.2 Loss DOLLAR8.2 SaleDate MMDDYY8.;

Summarizing Your Data Using PROC MEANS PROC MEANS options; If you do not specify any options, MEANS will print the number of non-missing values, the mean, the standard deviation, and the minimum and maximum values for each variable.

If you use the PROC MEANS statement with no other statements, then you will get statistics for all observations and all numeric variables in your data set. Here are some of the optional statements you may want to use: Summarizing Your Data Using PROC MEANS

/04/ /12/ /18/ /01/ /11/ /19/ /25/ A wholesale nursery is selling garden flowers, and they want to summarize their sales figures by month. The data file which follows contains the customer ID, date of sale, and number of petunias, snapdragons, and marigolds sold: DATA sales; INFILE 'D:\My Documents\My Class\TA\MyCode\05code and data\Flowers.dat'; INPUT CustomerID $ SaleDate MMDDYY10. Petunia SnapDragon Marigold; Month = MONTH(SaleDate); PROC SORT DATA = sales; BY Month; * Calculate means by Month for flower sales; PROC MEANS DATA = sales; BY Month; BY Month; VAR Petunia SnapDragon Marigold; VAR Petunia SnapDragon Marigold; TITLE 'Summary of Flower Sales by Month'; TITLE 'Summary of Flower Sales by Month'; RUN;

Exercise Download the dataset “Flowers.dat” from the folder “ 05 code and data” in our blackboard. Summarizing this dataset Using PROC MEANS by CustomerID. (This result does not need to submit. ) /04/ /12/ /18/ /01/ /11/ /19/ /25/ The data file which follows contains the customer ID, date of sale, and number of petunias, snapdragons, and marigolds sold: /* This is the Sample Code with red filled part*/ DATA dataname; INFILE ‘Locate your dataset here'; INPUT identify your data with right format; PROC function_name DATA = dataname; BY variable_name; VAR othervariable you want to show in your output;

Exercise Result DATA sales; INFILE 'D:\My Documents\My Class\TA\MyCode\05code and data\Flowers.dat'; INPUT CustomerID $ SaleDate MMDDYY10. Petunia SnapDragon Marigold; PROC SORT DATA = sales; BY CustomerID; * Calculate means by CustomerID, output sum and mean to new data set; PROC MEANS DATA = sales; BY CustomerID; VAR Petunia SnapDragon Marigold;
