Hi

I have a very simple sorted data with observation as ID and Indicator, I would like to form a cluster for each ID with increments for each group of records. It should reset for every account type. I have thought a lot about it but no success so far. Please help . CLUSTER IS Required Output

 

ID         Indicator   Cluster

A11        .               .

A11        .               .

A11        1              1

A11        1              1

A11        1              1

A11        .

A11        1              2

Use BY processing with NOTSORTED option.  To zero out the CLUSTER number when indicator is missing you will need a second variable.

data have ;

input id $ indicator want;

cards;

A11 . .

A11 . .

A11 1 1

A11 1 1

run;

data want ;

  set have ;

  by id indicator notsorted ;

  if first.id then ncluster=0;

  if first.indicator and not missing(indicator) then ncluster+1;

  if not missing(indicator) then cluster=ncluster;

  put id indicator want cluster;

  drop ncluster ;

run;

Many Thanks Tom. Don't know the usage of NotSorted option but will read over the internet.

Thanks again
