Hi I am trying to keep the first occurence of a variable and set the subsequent values of the variables to missing
My data looks like this
Data have;
input id time AMI;
datalines;
1 1 0
1 2 0
1 3 1
1 4 0
2 1 1
2 2 0
2 2 1
2 4 0
run;
I would like my data to look like this
ID time AMI
1 1 0
1 2 0
1 3 1
1 4 .
2 1 1
2 2 .
2 2 .
2 4 .
Basically, I only want to assess the first occurence of AMI
Thank you
Assuming data is sorted by ID you can do:
data want;
set have;
by ID;
retain flag; drop flag;
if first.id then flag=0;
if flag=1 then ami=.;
if ami=1 and flag=0 then flag=1;
run;

Thank you very Shmuel. It works perfectly

I would do:
data want;
do until(last.id);
set have; by id;
if AMImet
then call missing(newAMI);
else newAMI = AMI;
output;
if AMI then AMImet = 1;
end;
drop AMI AMImet; rename newAMI=AMI;
run;
Thank you very PGStats. Your codes works awesome too.
Thanks so much
