Hi,
Let's say that I have 3 datasets:
I want to merge those 3 datasets in a way that the result will look like this
But using the code below
data dataset_wrong; merge dataset_a dataset_b dataset_c; by A; run;
the result is
What is the right code to produce the result I want.
Thank you in advance.
try the following:
data dataset_wrong;
if _n_ = 0 then merge dataset_a dataset_b dataset_c;
/* this does nothing, but is needed to make the following work */
call missing(of _all_);
merge
dataset_a
dataset_b
dataset_c
;
by A;
run;
