Hi All,

 

So, I have this dataset:

 

data have;
     input year $ ID $ number;
     cards;
     1977  A  23
     1978 A  27
     1984 B  99
     1987 B  101
     1991 B   107
     1953 C  11
     1957 C   17
;

What I want to do is to fill in the missing in between years for each ID. For example, A has no missing becasue there is no missing year between the beginning and end of its years. However, I want to fill in for B with years 1985, 1986, and also 1988, 89, and 90. [ The other columns will be the same as the previous year]

 

So this is the WANT:

 

1977 A 23

1978 A 27

1984 B 99

1985 B 99

1986 B 99

1987 B 101

1988 B 101

1989 B 101

1990 B 101

1991 B 107

1953 C 11

1954 C 11

1955 C 11

1956 C 11 

1957 C 11

 

I am aware of Proc Expand but did not find a way of working through different IDs. What is the best way to perform this exercise? Thanks a lot,
