From the data below and I am tryign to eliminate those that have two consecutive test above 80. How Do I go about doing My analysis?  for example, in the table below, ID R45 will be excluded because it as two test above 80 consecutively  (test 90 and test 100). Thanks

ID Date test
R45 3/15/19 90
R45 4/15/19 100
R45 5/15/19 70
R45 6/15/19 60
R90 3/15/19 12
R90 4/15/19 120
R90 5/15/19 45
R90 6/15/19 100
R30 3/15/19 72
R30 4/15/19 28
R30 5/15/19 50
R30 6/15/19 220

 

my output would look like this

ID Date test
R90 3/15/19 12
R90 4/15/19 120
R90 5/15/19 45
R90 6/15/19 100
R30 3/15/19 72
R30 4/15/19 28
R30 5/15/19 50
R30 6/15/19 220

Hello @hjjijkkl,

 

If your dataset is grouped by ID and sorted by Date within each ID BY group, you can use a so-called double DOW-loop to eliminate the IDs in question:

data have;
input ID $ Date :mmddyy. test;
format date mmddyy8.;
cards;
R45 3/15/19 90
R45 4/15/19 100
R45 5/15/19 70
R45 6/15/19 60
R90 3/15/19 12
R90 4/15/19 120
R90 5/15/19 45
R90 6/15/19 100
R30 3/15/19 72
R30 4/15/19 28
R30 5/15/19 50
R30 6/15/19 220
;

data want(drop=tbd);
do until(last.id);
  set have;
  by id notsorted;
  if ~first.id & test>80 & lag(test)>80 then tbd=1; /* "to be deleted" */
end;
do until(last.id);
  set have;
  by id notsorted;
  if ~tbd then output;
end;
run;
