I am trying to calculate min and max in multiple instances for my data.

Here is an example of my data set.

person_id    event id     var2      var3     var4     var5     var6

1                  1                2          3           1         3           5

1                  2                6          1           2         4           1

2                  3                3          1           4         2           5

 

So there are people with multiple rows in my data however each event_id will be unique.

I am trying to calculate an overall min and max for each person and an individual min and max for each event.

Here is what I am looking for:

 

person_id    event id     var2      var3     var4     var5     var6    maxALL minALL maxONE minONE

1                  1                2          3           1         3           5        6            1            5             1

1                  2                6          3           2         4           3        6            1            6             2

2                  3                3          2           4         2           5        5            2            5             2

 

Thank you in advance!

He is a Double DoW approach

 

data have;
input person_id event_id var2 var3 var4 var5 var6;
datalines;
1 1 2 3 1 3 5
1 2 6 1 2 4 1
2 3 3 1 4 2 5
;

data want;
   do until (last.person_id);
      set have;
      array _{5} var2-var6;
      by person_id;
      maxALL=max(maxALL, max(of _[*]));
      minALL=min(minALL, min(of _[*]));
   end;

   do until (last.person_id);
      set have;
      by person_id;
      maxONE=max(of _[*]);
      minONE=min(of _[*]);
      output;
   end;

Instead of using var2-var6 I now want to use only 3 variables:

Column6M Column1Y Column100D

I know I can specify

Array X{3} Column6M Column1Y Column100D

But is there a way that I can specify the range Column6M-Column100D as in
the first example? When I try that syntax it gives me an error of
"Alphabetic prefixes for enumerated variables are different.

Provided that these variables are next to each other, you can use -- instead of - like this

 

data have;
input person_id event_id Column6M Column1Y Column100D;
datalines;
1 1 2 3 1
1 2 6 1 2
2 3 3 1 4
;

data want;
   do until (last.person_id);
      set have;
      array _{*} Column6M--Column100D;
      by person_id;
      maxALL=max(maxALL, max(of _[*]));
      minALL=min(minALL, min(of _[*]));
   end;

   do until (last.person_id);
      set have;
      by person_id;
      maxONE=max(of _[*]);
      minONE=min(of _[*]);
      output;
   end;
run;
