I have a longitudinal dataset and I want to sum var for IDs where indicate = 1 but not including the observation where indicate=1. How can I do this in sql?

 

Data format:

ID       Indicate         var

1         1                    10

1         0                    20

1         0                    10

2         0                    5

2         0                    15

2         0                    30

3         1                    30

3         0                    10

 

 

Desired data:

ID       indicate      sumvar

1            1                30

3            1                10

I have used indicate='1'with quotes because indicate is a "Character variable". You can even wish to make indicate as a numeric variable and use the code without quotes and the program will work.

 

Thank you! It was great SAS programming exercise.
