Dear All:
Could you please tell me whether there is a function in SAS that can me correct and identify U.S. city and state names? For example, the following is manually entered. Thus, it contains data entry errors. Could you please tell me the best way to clean these city names within SAS. Thank you!
MIMNEAPOLIS | MN |
MIDWAY | TN |
BOULDER(BROOMFIELD | CO |
CHICACO | IL |
ETIWANDA | CA |
MIDVALE | UT |
MICHIGAN CITY | IN |
EMERYVILLE | CA |
If the Data Quality Server is licensed at your site then you could use function DQSTANDARDIZE()
SAS(R) 9.3 Data Quality Server Reference
Else: It's quite a bit of coding and if you search this forum then you'll find multiple discussions around data cleansing and standardisation.
