Hello 

I am pretty much novice in SAS Enterprise Guide and I am facing a problem which I cannot resolve by myself.

I wrote this code:

 

data test_new; set test;
     if a=1 or b=1 or c=1 then MI=1;

     If MI=. or MI<1 then MI=0;
run;

 

proc freq data=MI;
tables
     MI*randomisation_code/chisq;
run;

 

But when I run the code, I only get the table with MI=0.

 

Actually, I need the result for this:
              if a=1 and/or b=1 and/or c=1 then MI=1; (at least two of the variables should mach together)

 

but cannot get it to work.

I hope some of you can help me with advice what to do, in a step-by-step manner 🙂

TIA
Mmignon

First step, run a PROC FREQ on the variables a, b, and c to be sure that you actually have the values you expect.  Your logic for creating MI depends on those, and looks like it should work.

 

A nice shortcut for the result you really want:

 

MI = (a + b + c) >= 2;

 

But that is dependent on the logic being right ... a, b, and c should be variables with values of 0 or 1 only.

Thank you very much for the shortcut 🙂 
I found the solution by myself, but it's more elegant with your shortcut!

Sincerely
