Hi, I have a data set that tracks unique person identifier, and number of activities they had on a website and call center per YearMonth. An example below, I have the first 4 variables. What I would like to do is flag the YearMonth where the FIRST event occurred and populate the variable with 1 and 0 otherwise. Also my actual data set has multiple years of data.

 

 

Have Want
PersonID YearMonth Logons Calls FirstLogon FirstCall
A 201701 0 5 0 1
A 201702 0 0 0 0
A 201703 0 0 0 0
A 201704 1 0 1 0
A 201705 5 1 0 0
A 201706 0 0 0 0
A 201707 0 0 0 0
A 201708 2 0 0 0
A 201709 1 0 0 0
A 201710 0 2 0 0
A 201711 2 0 0 0
A 201712 1 0 0 0
