I am sure this is easy, but I have been trying to figure it out and can't. I have a list of IDs, where some of them are duplicates. What I want is to number all of the ids so that they have a number next to them identifying which observation is which based on some sort criteria.

 

Data:

 

ID       Numeric_Var

1                 5

2                28

2                42

3                  2

3                  9

3                 74

 

 

And I want a new variable so that my data looks like this:

 

ID       Numeric_Var         Count

1                 5                        1

2                28                       1

2                42                       2

3                  2                       1

3                  9                       2

3                 74                      3

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

If you don't mind sorting the data (assuming it is not currently in order of the ID variable);

 

proc sort data=have; by id; run;

 

data want;

   set have;

   by id;

   retain count; /* I would probably use something more like sequencenumber ...*/

   if first.id then count=1;

   else count+1;

run;
