I am havig a variable like this
no
1
2
3
4
5
I want to create a new varible to move uprow up..
no New_no
1 2
2 3
3 4
4 5
5 .
here is one way:
data have;
input no;
cards;
1
2
3
4
5
;
data want;
set have end=lastone;
set have ( firstobs = 2 keep = No rename = (No = New_No) )
have ( obs = 1 drop = _all_ );
New_No = ifn( lastone, (.), New_No );
run;
Hi ... another approach ...
data want;
merge have have (firstobs=2 rename=(no=new_no));
run;
If the data set contains only these two variables, I would do it like this:
*step 1. Delete the first row;
data output1;
set input;
if first.no then delete;
rename no=new_no;
run;
*step 2. Build new variable;
data output2;
set ouput1;
no=lag(new_no);
run;
Then deal with the first obs of no and last obs of new_no.
