Hi all,

I had this situation where I need to exclude all the ID's with history is 1 on the first observation. For example, in the below scenario there are multiple observations for each ID.  I want to delete all those ID's which had history of disease (=1) on the first observation. 

Data I have

IDOrder of occurrenceHistory
111
121
131
211
310
321
410
510
521

Data i want to keep

IDOrder of occurrenceHistory
310
321
410
510
521

 I tried so many time but i can't get the result I want. Please help me. Thanks in advance for the support.

Assuming your data are already sorted properly, try this:

data have;
input ID	Order_of_occurrence	History;
cards;
1	1	1
1	2	1
1	3	1
2	1	1
3	1	0
3	2	1
4	1	0
5	1	0
5	2	1
;
run;

data want;
  do until(last.ID);
    set have;
    by ID;

    if first.ID = history then _N_ = 0;
    if _N_ then output;
  end;
run;
