I'm trying to sort my data the following way:
I have Case_Group_Name (x) and State (y). I want the list of the Case_Group_Names if they are located in multiple states. The Case_Group_Names with only one state I want deleted.
I'm thinking this is a proc sort procedure, but I'm not sure how to go about it; I just started out using SAS. Thanks you.
If I understand your question, try this:
proc sort data = in; by x;
run;
data multi;
set in;
by x;
if not( first.x & last.x );
run;
One of the issues to consider is whether the same Case_Group_Name could appear multiple times within the same State.
If the Case_Group_Name / State combinations are unique, the suggested solution will work.
