I'm assuming you have some other variables that tell you 'miss' versus visit? Otherwise, how is that known?

Yes I have missing flag but I already subset it so that's why I got this days.

Ok. How are we supposed to know that this is a miss:

2) 4 4 miss date

In your new example would both those middle records be missing?

Would this be which of the following and how are we supposed to tell the computer that?

1 5

5 5

5 8

8 8

8 10

Here's one way:

I suspect you have other variables present that would make this much simpler.
