Hi

I am struggling to find a code that can help me combining two datasets i.e. one and two.

 

data one;
 input X Y $ Z;
 datalines;
1 a 0.1
1 b 0.2
1 c 0.5
2 c 0.8
2 d 0.5
2 e 0.7
;


data two;
 input Y $ R;
 datalines;
a 5
b 6
c 9
d 7
e 2
f 4
;

data Want;
 input X Y $ Z R;
 datalines;
1 a 0.1 5
1 b 0.2 6
1 c 0.5 9
1 d . 7
1 e . 2
1 f . 4
2 a . 5
2 b . 6
2 c 0.8 9
2 d 0.5 7
2 e 0.7 2
2 f . 4
;

run;

Kindly guide me in this regard.

Thanks

If you would like a simpler program, it can be (probably) done but requires an extra step:

 

proc sql;
create table XLIST as select distinct X from one; create table shell as select * from two, xlist order by x, y; quit; data want; merge shell one; by X Y; run;

When I say "probably", note two things:

 

  • This code is untested and my SQL syntax is rusty.
  • The results rely on the data set ONE already being in sorted order.
