picking common selects

Gladis6680 — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 20:15:45 GMT

Hi there,

I would like to select the code that is both in ALLST and MISNG from the same data set. Any thoughts on how to go about it?

CODE	REGION
516934	ALLST
516934	MISNG
328976	ALLST
987504	MISNG
489786	ALLST
489786	MISNG
987601	ALLST
348908	MISNG
890881	ALLST
314689	ALLST
314689	MISNG
348946	ALLST
787654	MISNG
975698	ALLST
975698	MISNG
107896	ALLST

/* UNTESTED CODE */

proc sql;
    create table want as select 
         coalesce(a.code,b.code) as code
         ,a.region as region1
         ,b.region as region2
    from have(where=(region='ALLST')) as a full join have(where=(region='MISNG')) as b
    on a.code=b.code 
    where not missing(a.region) and not missing(b.region);
quit;

or, if data is consistent, subset it using by group first.variable and last.variable;

eg.

proc sort data=have; by code region; run; 
data want;
	set have; 
	by code region; 
	if not (first.code and last.code); 
proc print;run;

*or; 

data want;
	set have; 
	by code region; 
	if ((first.code and not last.code) and region eq 'ALLST') or ((last.code and not first.code) and region eq 'MISNG'); 
proc print;run;

Here a SQL way for doing this.

data have;
  input CODE  REGION $;
  datalines;
516934  ALLST
516934  MISNG
328976  ALLST
987504  MISNG
489786  ALLST
489786  MISNG
987601  ALLST
348908  MISNG
890881  ALLST
314689  ALLST
314689  MISNG
348946  ALLST
787654  MISNG
975698  ALLST
975698  MISNG
107896  ALLST
;

proc sql;
  select code, region
  from have
  where region in ('ALLST','MISNG')
  group by code
  having count(distinct region)=2
  ;
quit;
