I have a dataset that looks like the one below. The date column is sorted. I’m trying to create a table which will summarize
• If the “first” purchase in 2005 is product ‘2’ and then
• How many units of products 7 & 9 were bought by the person (ID) over the following years
I tried using Proc Summary. The problem is that there are multiple cases in which the person bought products 2 along with something else on their first purchase in 2005 (hence the multiple units & cost entries in certain rows). I have put them with commas to make a distinction. However, my dataset has them in the same box and separated by a space.
