Hi there, I need help with conditionally inserting a missing data row for each unique id. I have the following sample date:

 

Id

Test_date

Test_id

Test_component

Test_score

Score_letter

XYZ

English

2.5

Recommendation

 

MAS

 

The recommendation is based on the following grid:

 

Test_component/Scores

Score_letter

English

Math

Science

DIP

<4

<4

<7

DEG

 4

 4

MAS

 4.5

4.5 


A student would need the above exact scores for each of the components for that score_letter to get that particular recommendation. So, for example, to get a recommendation of 'MAS', s/he would need a score of 4.5 each in English and Math and a 8 in Science. In case s/he gets a 3 in English, 4 in Math and 8 in Science, the recommendation would be based on the lowest, so would be 'DIP'. 

 

I am missing the recommendation for some students as seen for id #3 (it will be 'DEG' here) above and need to insert the row based on the conditions for the score_letter. Can somebody please help me figure this out? I am at a complete loss here. Thanks in advance.

Below should work.


data want;
  set have;
  /* also sorted by test_score to ensure Recommendation is the last row within an id */
  by id test_score;
  output;

  array _test_score {3} 8 _temporary_;
  if not last.id then
    do;
      select(upcase(test_component));
        when('ENGLISH') _test_score[1]=test_score;
        when('MATH')    _test_score[2]=test_score;
        when('SCIENCE') _test_score[3]=test_score;
        otherwise;
      end;
    end;

  else
  if last.id then
    do;
      if upcase(test_component) ne 'RECOMMENDATION' then
        do;
          test_component='Recommendation';
          if _test_score[1]<4 and _test_score[2]<4 and _test_score[3]<7 then score_letter='Dip';
/*          else if....*/
          call missing(test_id, test_score);
          output;
        end;
      call missing(of _test_score[*]);
    end;
