Hi I have tried to read this data into SAS however realising only the row "1A 33" is missing in the output data, why is it so?

Here's a program you can run, to try to understand why:

 

data two;

set one;

by x y;

f_x = first.x;

f_y = first.y;

l_x = last.x;

l_y = last.y;

run;

proc print data=two;

run;

How many combinations of X and Y in your data are duplicated?

 

Or do you find it easier to identify X an Y combinations that are unique?

 

How do they compare to the X Y combination that did not appear in the output?
