I am trying to keep the maximum observations for each ID by Var1 while keeping duplicates for the max. I have data such as:
ID Var1 Var2
1 90 8
1 90 9
1 85 8
2 70 6
2 70 5
2 65 9
3 50 5
3 65 5
and I want the following data:
ID Var1 Var2
1 90 8
1 90 9
2 70 6
2 70 5
3 65 5
I have tried a couple of different methods but have not had any sucess so far.
Here is one way:
proc sql noprint; create table want as select * from have group by ID having Var1 eq max(Var1) ; quit;
