Error checks QC Report

[tekish]

Dear experts,

I have a large excel file which i want to do error check for quality control report. After importing to SAS i want to do the following the quality control checks that need to be performed on the catalog file:

• Check that the Cata ID1 is unique for each record.
• Check that the non-missing catalog course IDs are unique within each course.
• Check that all  level follow the XX-XX format.

libname xlsx "c\temp\catalog.xlsx";

example data:

infile xlsx;

Cata ID1	Cata ID2	Cata Course Title	Level	SCED	Course Level	Credit	Seq/Total	Spec.Ed	Course language	Online
1	00128	Project Management	I-IV	22998	G	1	1/16	N	English	N
2	00300	IT and Computer Science	I-III	22004	G	4	1/1	N	French	Y
3	00400	Cybersecurity	I-IV	22004	G	0.5	1/1	N	English	Y
4	00107	Management	I-IV	22004	G	0.5	1/1	N	French	N
5	01111	SQL	I-III	01001	G	0.5	1/1	N	English	N
6	01112	SAS	I-III	01002	G	3	1/1	N	English	N
7	01113	.NET	I-II	01003	G	0.5	1/1	N	Spansh	N
8	01114	Sharepoint	I-V	01004	G	0.5	1/1	N	English	N
9	01350	R	I-V	22003	G	0.5	1/1	N	English	N

 Any idea and suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can use SQL and compare if count(distinct cat_id1) equals count(cata_id1), similar for other variables that need to be unique.

The check for the format can be done by controlling for countw(level,'-') = 2.
