proc sort data=t;

by sec dt;

run;

data t;

set t;

by sec dt;

if first.rate then  n=1 ;

else n+1;

if last.rate then stop;

run;


It doesn't work, I don't know how to reset the n using first. and last. form to assign the n in ascending order.

Change your first.rate to first.dt

And you don't need the last. and stop line.

I agree with Reeza.

And if you need the kind of output you specified (group processing only, no sorting),

then you may want to add: NOTSORTED and skip pre-sorting altogether.

data t;

set t;

by sec dt NOTSORTED;

if first.dt then n=1;

else n+1;

run;
