hello,
I have a large data set, look like this :
data mydata;
input id month mark last;
cards;
1 4 14.5 28
1 1 . .
1 3 . .
2 7 . .
;
run;
and I want to remplace all missing value by 14.5 and 28, I mean like this
ID month mark last
1 4 14.5 28
1 5 14.5 28
1 1 14.5 28
1 3 14.5 28
2 7 14.5 28
Thank you
ok, with automatically, I take it that you mean that you always have the nonmissing value in the first observation? 🙂
So
data want;
set mydata;
if _N_ = 1 then do;
temp_mark = mark;
temp_last = last;
retain temp_mark temp_last;
end;
if missing(mark) then mark=temp_mark;
if missing(last) then last = temp_last;
drop temp_mark temp_last;
run;
Like this?
data mydata;
input id month mark last;
cards;
1 4 14.5 28
1 1 . .
1 3 . .
2 7 . .
;
run;
data want;
set mydata;
if missing(mark) then mark=14.5;
if missing(last) then last = 28;
run;
Yes but since I have a large data set, I want to do it automatically

if _n_=1 then set mydata(keep= mark last obs=1);
