Yeah, without seeing your code I can't comment. 

Use @Ksharp solution, because your data isn't sorted in a standard manner, in your last group the J/K/F grouping would be incorrect. 

 

The suggested (incorrect) code based on the link should have been:

 

data want;
set have;
by state value;
retain your_sol;

if first.state then your_sol=0;
if first.value then your_sol+1;

run;

Your BY groups appear to be STATE & VALUE

A            3          G        
B            4         G      
B            5          H    
B            6          H     
C           7          J        
C           8          K
