Hi, I am new to SAS and would like some help in filtering this set of data from bankscope which has a problem with duplications. There are instances where a certain bank in a certain year has 3 rows of financial data, hence there is a need to remove/delete duplicates according to the following priority of filtering - C1/C2, C*, U1/U2, U*. From table 1 to table 2.
