Hi All,
I need to rank my data.

1 10 5 24
2 20 7 32
3 30 20 62
4 30 30 98
5 30 30 63
6 40 45 21
7 40 75 33
8 50 60 90
My challage is : I need to rank the data base on priotize variable
example first priority variable is var1 but if var1 is duplicate then need to check var2 if var2 also duplicate then need to check var3
priority level is var1 then var2 then var3
i would be very thankful for ur help.
What does your desired output look like?
A look-ahead seems to be the method to solve the problem. Explained here: http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings10/103-2010.pdf
If that is the case then do
data have;
input id var1 var2 var3;
datalines;
1 10 5 24
2 20 7 32
3 30 20 62
4 30 30 98
5 30 30 63
6 40 45 21
7 40 75 33
8 50 60 90
;
proc sort data=have;
by var1-var3;
run;
