Hello again!
I would like to ask you how to get from "have" to "wanna" base.
Have:
Company, Year,
A,2001
A,2002
A,2003
A,2004
B,2001
B,2002
B,2003
C,2001
C,2002
C,2003
C,2004
Wanna:
Company, Year,
A,2001
A,2002
A,2003
A,2004
C,2001
C,2002
C,2003
C,2004
I know the logic, but cannot really figure out the code...
I should assign e.g. item for every observation and delete each company which has item number <4
Thank you in advance!
select * from have group by company having count(distinct year)=4;
