Dear All,

I have one data set. There are three scanners and each has two time points measurements with four different label results. I would like to get only the first time point results from these three scanners. But I can only get the first label results if I use the first option. Here is my code and data set I have and results I would like to have.

proc sort data=have; by Manufacturers study_date label ;run;

data want;

   set have;

   by Manufacturers study_date  label;

   if first.study_date;

run;

what I have:
