Hi David and Detlefff and other grumpy SAS users,

you get what you pay for.
Big money, big trouble.

❝ You're absolutely right. Crappy implementation of SQL in SAS as usual, the function does not work even with a "group by" statement as ordinary arithmetic functions work. SAS "reads" data line by line and apply functions to each line. Therefore, this function seems even more useless than I actually thought.

Transpose the column, then geomean by SQL directly on the transpose, perhaps?
