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.
Table 1
Year | ISIN | Name | Consolidation code |
2000 | Uk123 | ABC | C1 |
2000 | Uk123 | ABC | C* |
2000 | Uk123 | ABC | U1 |
2001 | Uk123 | ABC | C2 |
2001 | Uk123 | ABC | U1 |
2001 | UK345 | DEF | U1 |
2001 | UK345 | DEF | C* |
2002 | UK345 | DEF | U* |
Table 2
Year | ISIN | Name | Consolidation code |
2000 | Uk123 | ABC | C1 |
2001 | Uk123 | ABC | C2 |
2001 | UK345 | DEF | C* |
Linus,
Thanks for pointing that out, but I was told by the administrator to do another discussion because my first one was not loading.
