Hi guys, can anybody give me pointers on how to use SAS EG 4.3 to keep the latest data. E.g:
Name Age Date
A 10 10/2/2013
A 12 13/4/2015
B 8 15/3/2010
B 8 1/7/2010
I want the result to show:
Name Age Date
A 12 13/4/2015
B 8 1/7/2010
Please help. Thx
Code not tested:
data want;
set have;
by name;
if last.name;
run;
Or an approach that wouldn't require sorting the data beforehand:
Proc summary data=have nway;
class Name;
var age date;
output out=want(drop= _type_ _freq_) max=;
run;
Assumes the date is a SAS date variable.
