Hi all,
Somewhat new to repeated measures but I'm working on a dataset that has repeated data. Below is a sample:
ID | Visit | Label |
AAA | 1 | XY |
AAA | 2 | Z |
AAA | 3 | . |
BBB | 1 | XY |
BBB | 2 | XY |
CCC | 1 | Z |
DDD | 1 | . |
DDD | 2 | . |
DDD | 3 | XY |
EEE | 1 | Z |
EEE | 2 | . |
FFF | 1 | XY |
GGG | 1 | Z |
HHH | 1 | . |
HHH | 2 | Z |
HHH | 3 | XY |
I want to delete any IDs where a label of XY appears at least once across any visit. The code I have tried below only seems to delete the exact rows that has an XY label, and not every row that belongs to that ID:
data want;
set have;
by id;
if label = "XY" then delete;
run;
Essentially, what I'd want to do is produce a table below that removes all other rows of that ID:
ID | Visit | Label |
CCC | 1 | Z |
EEE | 1 | Z |
EEE | 2 | . |
GGG | 1 | Z |
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

A SQL DELETE statement will remove rows from the data set without rewriting the whole table.
proc sql undo_policy=none; delete from have where ID in (select ID from have where label='XY') ; quit;
