Answer / ravi s

it need two steps

step 1 : proc sort; by year name;run;

Step 2: data total (drop = value);
set count_;
by year name;
if first.name then T_value =0 ;
T_value + value;
if last.name then output ;
run;

Note: Hence i am doing work in data step. i need to sort
the data first by using "Proc Sort".

Kindly let me know is the any other method to do?
