How do I delete the last six rows of a dataset?
Sorry, it should be COUNT in the IF statement, not NOBS.
if count - _n_ <6;
Use NOBS and delete. I'm not sure if it should be less than or less than and equal to in the comparison so both are there.
One will work for you.
data want;
set sashelp.class NOBS=COUNT;
if NOBS - _n_ < 6 then delete;
*if NOBS - _n_ <= 6 then delete;
run;
