Hello! I'm attempting to create a new variable that assigns the mean in period 2 to period 1 for each group. Better to explain with the data.
This is what I have:
data have; input group period mean; datalines; 1 1 10 1 2 20 2 1 33 2 2 22 3 1 21 3 2 34 4 1 33 4 2 32 ; run;
This is what I want:
data want; input group period mean meanp2; datalines; 1 1 10 20 1 2 20 20 2 1 33 22 2 2 22 22 3 1 21 34 3 2 34 34 4 1 33 32 4 2 32 32 ; run;
Answered my own question. Sorry thanks!!
For references the solution is:
data p2; set have;
meanp2=mean;
where period=2;
run;
data want;
merge p2 have;
by group;
run;
