Hi RW9,

I edited the sample data to clarify.

If the toy appears once(plane), twice(bicycle), and or 3 times(truck) I would like to format and rename to diverse:

data ManuallyFormated;
input ID$ toy$ town$;
cards;

Jensen Doodle Columbus
Tom Car Dayton
Mathew DIVERSE Columbus
Zhin Doodle Columbus
Gylbert Car Columbus
Luke DIVERSE Columbus
Barbara Doodle Columbus
Judy Doodle Dayton
Dennis DIVERSE Dayton
Anthony Car Dayton
Ian DIVERSE Dayton
Ruan Car Dayton
Santiago DIVERSE Dayton
Uin Doodle Columbus
Josh Car Columbus
Bob DIVERSE Columbus

Yes, I edited my post. It should work with that data though you would need to change B.CNT < 3 to be B.CNT <= 3 for your logic.
