Dear SAS community,
Edit: My Apologies, I have amended the question.
This is yet another counting with the condition that I have been struggling with. Please help!
Your help would be much appreciated.
Suppose that I have data below;
Subject / Year / Condition
A 1991 1
A 1992 1
A 1993 2
A 1994 2
A 1995 3
A 1996 1
A 1997 1
B 1991 2
B 1992 1
B 1993 2
B 1994 1
B 1995 3
B 1996 1
B 1997 2
I cannot change the order of this, and I would like to start counting
when "1" appears and continue counting without counting '2' or '3' so that I get
Subject / Year / Condition / Count
A 1991 1 1
A 1992 1 2
A 1993 2 2
A 1994 2 2
A 1995 3 2
A 1996 1 3
A 1997 1 4
B 1991 2 0
B 1992 1 1
B 1993 2 1
B 1994 1 2
B 1995 3 2
B 1996 1 3
B 1997 2 3
How can I achieve this?
Basically the end goal is to then find the number of each 1, 2, 3 and find the percentage of them to select which one I would choose based on the highest probability. But I will need to find a solution to this first.
Thank you!
Regards,
T
The expected result seems to require resetting count when "subject" changes. Right? This requires sorted or at least properly grouped data. This is an extended version of @PeterClemmensen code:
data want;
set have;
by Subject notsorted;
if first.Subject then Count=0;
if Condition=1 then Count+1;
run;
Why do you not count the last 1?
You can do something like this
data have;
input Subject $ Year Condition;
datalines;
A 1991 1
A 1992 1
A 1993 2
A 1994 2
A 1995 3
A 1996 1
A 1997 1
;
data want;
set have;
if Condition=1 then Count+1;
run;

Thank you! Yes, this is correct. It was so simple and I was trying such complicated things. Have a good weekend!
