I'm looking to compare rows in the following way (assume dataset is sorted by FullCode, ChangeDt). Note: FullCode is simply ID concatenated with Type.
ID | Type | Source | Name | ChangeDt | StartDt | FullCode
01 | 03 | Y | T | 08Aug1998 | 09Jul1998 | 0103
02 | 03 | Y | T | 08Aug1998 | 09Jul1998 | 0203
03 | 07 | O | T | 01May1994 | 13Jun1996 | 0307
03 | 07 | O | T | 20Jan1998 | 13Jun1996 | 0307
03 | 07 | N | T | 16Apr1999 | 13Jun1996 | 0307
So I want to create an iterator ID to count as we go down the rows per FullCode, when the ChangeDt is different, start at 1 and count up until you hit the next FullCode. Like below:
ID | Type | Source | Name | ChangeDt | StartDt | FullCode | Count
01 | 03 | Y | T | 08Aug1998 | 09Jul1998 | 0103 | 1
02 | 03 | Y | T | 08Aug1998 | 09Jul1998 | 0203 | 1
03 | 07 | O | T | 01May1994 | 13Jun1996 | 0307 | 1
03 | 07 | O | T | 20Jan1998 | 13Jun1996 | 0307 | 2
03 | 07 | N | T | 16Apr1999 | 13Jun1996 | 0307 | 3
Do something like this
data have;
input ID Type Source $ Name $ (ChangeDt StartDt)(:date9.) FullCode;
format ChangeDt StartDt date9.;
infile datalines dlm='|';
datalines;
01|03|Y|T|08Aug1998|09Jul1998|0103
02|03|Y|T|08Aug1998|09Jul1998|0203
03|07|O|T|01May1994|13Jun1996|0307
03|07|O|T|20Jan1998|13Jun1996|0307
03|07|N|T|16Apr1999|13Jun1996|0307
;
data want;
set have;
by FullCode ChangeDt;
if first.FullCode then Count=1;
else if ChangeDt ne lag1(ChangeDt) then Count+1;
run;
