Rank observations based on variable

georgel — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 09:30:58 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to generate a variable to rank analysts (ANALYS) by ISIN (the firm code) based on the STDFE.

For example for the first firm i.e. GB00BJVQC708 ANALYS with code 114434 will receive 1. For the second and next analyst since they have the same STDFE then I want to assign the mid-point of the ranks they take up. This means that the ranks need not be integers. Similarly for the second firm etc. Please see attached a subsample of the two firms

Many thanks in advance,

Best regards

George

PROC RANK will do that by default:

proc rank data=testconsitency;
ranks rank;
var stdfe;
run;
