Dear Experts

 

I have the following data in the three first columns and would like to assign the number in column four (meeting number). The number is based on the date. If this shifts then a new number has to be assigned. The data set includes numerus other variables.

 

Record_idAdmission numberDateMeeting number
1101-01-20011
1101-01-20011
1101-03-20012
1201-05-20011
1201-05-20011
1201-05-20011
    

 

Kind regards

 

Solvej

Assuming data is sorted by the 3 coloms then do:

data want;
  set have;
       by record_id Admission_nomber date;
       retain meeting_number;

      if first.date then meeting_number = 1;
      else meeting_number +1;
run;

I think that's in the ballpark, but you need to tweak the logic a bit:

 

data want;
  set have;
       by record_id Admission_number date;
      if first.admission_number then meeting_number = 1;
      else if first.date then meeting_number +1;
run;

Hi,

 

Try this code.

 

data test;
set abc;
by record_id adm_no;
retain hold .;
if first.adm_no then do;
hold=date;
meeting=1;
end;
if hold ne date then do;
hold = date;
meeting + 1;
end;
run;
