Hi @IdlanHnf It's my humble request you post a nice descriptive subject line as your question as opposed to "I need help". The idea is to get readers aka contributors interested and so you can expect somebody to offer the solution you need.

For your description, you could write something like "Requesting solution help in identifying largest and smallest value"

Then in the body of the text, you can write the details offering a sample data, the business logic and the expected output sample. I hope this makes sense.

Apply the summary solution you accepted in https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/i-have-80-data/m-p/663433#M198040, and filter for the first value for every buyer.

Okay thank you. I have two questions about it and I thought it was different. Thank you so much for your help.

I’m so sorry about it. I’m a new user. Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll try to ask a better question next time.
