Hi all,
I am relatively new to SAS and has been trying to sort my dataset. I have a dataset A containing the identifiers for companies I need and another dataset B containing the whole universe of companies. How do I find only the companies I need from the universe in dataset B using the identifiers in dataset A?
Thank you for any advice given.
Many ways.
Classic SAS code.
data want ;
merge A(in=in1) B ;
by id;
if in1;
run;
Proc SQL
proc sql ;
create table want as select * from a left join b on a.id = b.id ;
quit;
