Hi Community,

 

I am need your help understanding this within a proc sql step. Have never used coalesce function.

Thanks kindly for your help.

@Timbim - good to hear! Personally I find this function very useful.

Would you normally use in place of joins? It is the first time I've come across this. I am not an expert in coding but want to be one.
